No, I mean "does not work out-of-the-box and does not work properly if
tweaked".  The first is a matter of fact, and the second is a conceptal
problem...

[I recently came to the conclusion that the only way to get correct
previews is to process the full file as there is no way to properly handle
included .tex or ERT in general. So what we could do is to run latex
every few seconds in the background and update previews afterwards.
This would, of course eat much more CPU time and produces a noticeale delay
between leaving a formula and update of the preview. But I really see no
other robust solution.]

Too early in the week to say ;-)

Seriously, it's not the codeing, it's the concept.
