:-) (Yeah, I almost added the words "in a perfect world" to my original 
post)

But it is listed (though inactive) in the menu. So I should modify my 
previous post to say "in a perfect world with a dozen full-time LyX 
programmers I would suggest that such things be simply a part of LyX 
(whether compiled in or as script in the library). Anything that supports 
LyX's goals of "break[ing] the obsolete tradition of the 'typewriter 
paradigm'" (i.e. "count your spaces, find your errors yourself") and 
becoming an even better document preparation system should be considered 
(time and resources permitting, of course).

Yeah, I saw that in the SuSE distro I believe.
