Feature Request for tex2lyx

I can deal with complications if and when they occur, but would rather
like the standard situation be standard :-)-O

I do everything in US English, but even a MWE LaTeX will be in UK
English when tex2lyx is done with it.

And that, I think is cumbersome. And amenable to a switch in tex2lyx,
not an automatism, though I have no idea how much work the
implementation will be.

Hence this thread.
