Ok. I''ll think about it.

;-) Well I think that I disagree with you. I prefer an incremental approach; 
fix the nearly working first before breaking the next bit. Work still needs 
to be done on button insets in mathed but they are 'almost there'.

As for the tabular dialog; I haven't ported it to the new scheme yet. 
Thereafter, getting it to work with mathed will be trivial. (Painful, but 
trivial.)

Incidentally, what needs to be done to unify InsetRef and RefInset? Do we need 
a placeholder in the outside world analogous to formalabase?
