It was used in quite a few places and made an InsetText sort of non-copiable as full functionality was only available if it was re-attached to some 'owning' inset. I tend to think of an InsetText as the texted equivalent of a MathNestInset with a single cell. An InsetCollapsable would be a MathSqrtInset. However, one could take other stances, mainly because there seems to be no particular reason for InsetText to exist at all. It's more or less a cheap wrapper around a LyXText, so one could probably use the LyXText directly. Andre'
