(1) refstyle does not know about theorems and lemmas by default. What

Seems to me that this should be fixed upstream, in the refstyle package.
That's a good idea. I'll write the maintainer.

(2) Part of the attraction of refstyle is that it doesn't have to use
":" as a separator, which is bad in French, since the colon is active.
Should we just use something else? If so, what? Should we allow it to be
customized? The disadvantage in either case is that refstyle by default
assumes ":", and so either we or the user has to take appropriate steps
to tell refstyle about the difference. Unfortunately, there is no easy
way to do that. It has to be done for each and every reference style you
declare.
What are other advantages of refstyle versus prettyref? I will give your patch a
try, but I kind of like prettyref. I sure hope I can produce the same kind of
output, otherwise I would prefer to keep prettyref support next to it.
The main one, right now, is internationalization. The output is
otherwise pretty similar, and can be customized in similar ways.
Eventually, though, we can support ranges of references and that kind of
thing, though that will likely wait for 2.1, since (a) I can't see
getting it done for 2.0 and (b) it will be a format change.
