I'm not an advanced user, but I frequently use \emph and similar commands,
not to mention my own, really simple ones. E.g., each english word, or a
word with english roots should be emphasized, and since I write mostly java
development related documents, I have quite a number of these. With not
inlined ERT's, either open or closed, my document looks really ugly on the
screen, almost unreadable. An option 'turn all ERT's to
inlined/open/closed' would be really useful.
Or if acronym package is used, having each \ac{_acronym_} in a box is a
little bit cumbersome.
An option ERT.default=inlined would be really useful.

That would induce problems while upgrading, wouldn't it?
