As a user I find the "2.2" very useful -- it supports the workflow of printing the document, marking it up, and then editing the LyX file based on the marked-up printout. The alternative is using packages like showkeys so that the printed document shows the keys as well, but this can be a bit of a pain (in particular you need huge margins if you have long keys), so the option to have LyX display the cross-reference value is very helpful.
