If that's the intention it should probably be made explicit. I, at
least, would hesitate to rely on that if I wanted to incorporate some
LPPL code into my GPL project.
After all, maybe someday there will be a GPL implementation of latex
with its own set of files that are interoperable with standard latex.
Perhaps not intended to be used with standard latex, but they could
be.
