How to Elegantly "Unbold" Description Label in LyX & Output?

[Joel Kulesza]

Colleagues,

What is the recommended way to reconfigure the description environment to
not be bold in LyX and in the output.  For the output, I might use

\renewcommand{\descriptionlabel}[1]{\hspace{\labelsep}\normalfont{#1}}

However, it's not clear how best to set the description to not show "bold"
in the interface (so that I can selectively apply bolding to my label and
have it appear faithfully in LyX and in the output).  Section 3.3.7.4 of
the User Guide would seem to be the place to find the information—have I
overlooked it elsewhere?

I've tried setting a local layout to override the standard "description"
definition, but validation suggests that it's invalid (below my
signature).  Even copying the definition from stdlists.inc fails
validation...

Any thoughts you can provide are appreciated.

Thank you,
Joel
