For us, yes.  But it would make the database a lot more complicated... 
and in any case, the database is already created.  The actual lilypond 
text is in a separate field from the snippet description.  In the LSR 
database, it's stored as either plaintext or HTML; this field is 
translated into the texidoc \header{}s you saw in the extracted .ly files.
