I don't know what boxes are, but I do have a proposed behavior for LyX.

Specified environments (e.g. Theorem, Proof, stuff from Beamer) get
flagged with some attribute which I'll call "separable."  Currently,
when a user presses "Enter" on a blank line, LyX ignores it.  However,
for separable environments, LyX would insert a "--Separator--".

I think this would be an easy way to improve usability.

But - what to do when you _want_ a multi-paragraph theorem?

Today, you can write a multi-paragraph theorem and it will work. IT gets a single theorem number. If you want another theorem to follow, you insert that separator.

If "enter" always makes a separator, then you get the opposite problem:
No multiparagraph theorems.  Well, this could be solved by nesting
standard paragraphs into the theorem layout - similiar to how one makes a multi-paragraph entry in an itemized list.
