If you attempt this, make sure you backup the XML file.  I've tried this on a number of occasions and did a really good job of killing my session file.  Not a fun experience.  I've found Ardour is in general very sensitive to session files it doesn't fully understand.  One false move and BAM! Ardour won't open anything in your session anymore...  Just be careful...
