The fact that in the middle of august Georg is alone to answer to some
admittedly obscure thread is in general not enough to establish
anything.

I do not see the need to go to such dramatization of the situation.
You make it sound as if an evil leader did a coup and took fundamental
liberties away from The People (unless you are a master of our "no
smiley day" and I fell for it).

I think that indeed the naked latex export can be very useful to maybe
3% of our users (OK, I made up the number). In this sense, we should
probably implement it (not that I am proposing to do it myself...),
but does not look like a top priority.

However, I think that it should be as raw as it gets: just the LaTeX
file. If you want to be on your own you cannot pick this and that
inset to generate contents and not others: we would be bound to see
someone else complain bitterly that he needs external insets but not
include insets (or the opposite).

So what I would propose is 2 export options:

- just the tex (or just the <foo> if we can make it generic to other
  formats)

- just the tex/foo, but without headers.
