That sounds good. If it is not too verbose, it might be nice to have
<<Allow page breaks ("longtable")>>. Users often google something about
LaTeX and tables and find that they are supposed to use "longtable".
Although they don't actually know anything about it, they try to figure
out how to use it in LyX. So it might be nice to keep "longtable" for
such cases, at the very least in the tooltip.
