Of course it is only necessary that LyX can open it. Only due to the lyx2lyx bug you fixed today I realized that lyx2lyx was invoked every time when I opened the generated LyX-file. If there is no lyx2lyx bug nobody would mention that the lyx-file is not saved in the lyxversion of the installed LyX.

Why that and where would you keep it?
But anyway if you also like 1) and 2) perhaps we should implement it in future LyX versions.

I've never used master/child documents.
