And I've recently embarrassed myself somewhat thereby (see recent thread on LyX in Mac OS X on usenet:comp.text.tex).
Anyway, I'd like to ask that preserving comments (at least) in imported LaTeX files have at least some continued consideration in the effort to improve the LaTeX import / export.
Also, there's a push in the Mac OS X TeX community to adopt a ``bundle'' format for use by the front-ends there. In Mac OS X (this derives from NeXTstep), a ``bundle'' is a folder w/ an extension which is treated as a document file, so one would have, say:
mylatexdocument.texd (bundle folder) document.tex (main file) preface.tex (sub file) chap1.tex (sub file) chap2.tex (sub file) graphics (directory) graphics/fig1.eps (graphics file)
There's since been a much more in-depth writeup / discussion in the TeXwrapper mailing list.

Would LyX want to make use of such a structure / system? Perhaps the KDE or Gnome teams would find it of interest? Bundles really are a very nice way to manage documents w/ many sub-files.
