That would be nice. I think that we could probably make the current code
more efficient (I think we rerun layout2layout in some places where
probably we can cache the result). But the main benefit is the one you
mention that the dev who updates the format knows best what the diff
should look like.

I think we recommend something similar for updating the LyX file format
(e.g., Development.lyx, Section 2.2).
