Regarding #13069, what needs to happen is that some tags need to be added around anything that is *not* inside an XML tag in a given piece of XML. The patch I contributed should be pretty close to working, the problem is that in order to have a "robust" fix I think it needs a real XML parser so that we can accurately find the code that is outside of any tag. Am I correct in thinking that there is no appetite for including a real XML parser in LyX? If that is the case, then I could probably improve the patch I suggested to cover all of the XML that LyX is likely to actually generate, and then add a safety valve so it doesn't loop forever in the case that it gets surprised.
