Well I guess this is not that easily done if we want this feature implemented
right. As you tell us below the big question is how to display this and IMO
to realize this good from the beginning we have to insert some simple formating
stuff to this too f.ex. display()-style it should use it's own row as a
display()-inset and I guess some more other stuff too. Then we surely need
a feature-string which tells us if we have to include a special-LaTeX package
to use the command, we cannot suppose that the user knows for system-wide
declared LCS's what LaTeX package (s)he should add in the LaTeX preamble,
moreover there are some commands valid only in certain layout-types how do
we handle this?

I guess there should be also a way to create this styles inside a layout-file
and I think this should be for now the only way to do this as then we exactly
know what we need and what layout we are in.
I'm sure the general way you propose would be VERY nice but also very error
prone.
Just my thoughts on this good idea!
