May I draw your attention to some late contributions to mathed like the Mathematica backend or the preview implementation which are not my work? > so he got to implement everything in a consistent way.

Mathed has a central parser whereas the other insets do their own parsing (even if they have a LaTeX like syntax). Insets in the math hierarchy benefit from math_factory which is used by the parser and the cursor. > I certainly would like to see the parsing of tex files moved to C++, > but I fail to see how this related the mathinsets. The mathed thingy used to read LaTeX is the best "parser" we have to read LaTeX. It produces mainly math insets. This is some relation, isn't it? Andre'
