Just as an aside:
The standard 'spreadsheet' rules for never deleting cells in their
complexity may be elegant (and they are), but the flexibility to
join/split/pad rows just by inserting or deleting & and \\ sequences
is one of the main things that drives me out of LyX into xemacs/TeX.
It would be very nice to have the flexibility you get in a text editor
in LyX.
I think you both understand this, though :)
