I think that's what some mail programs do (e.g., mutt) to add attachments. Perhaps there is a disadvantage that the file size is (much) bigger than using a non-ASCII encoding?

Personally, I'd prefer to keep LyX files small and plain text. Also, 
wouldn't embedding graphics introduce extra work if the source graphic 
was changed? For instance, if I embedded a plot, then later changed data 
an reran the plot, I would need to manually update the LyX file.

The LyX Archive export seems to be a good solution for sharing (or 
archiving) documents.
