I'm not sure about the validity of your conclusion. Writing tuplets is such a central element of inputting music that a special treatment is probably justified, even at the cost of hardwiring. However, this is nothing I suggest for immediate implementation; as mentioned in another mail, I think this can be safely postponed.
