That's why I wrote in 90%. Usually you have single line space and nearly all document classes use
1.2 for the baselineskip then.

But all insets have different syntax. That would mean that I have to write a detection routine foe
every inst. E.g. when I find baselineskip in a box I need to revert the whole box as TeX-code. This
is a horror.
What I can do is to check also for the set line spacing. baselineskip is then
baselineskip = fontsize * 1.2 * line spacing
This is then correct for far over 90% of all cases.

I think the user should decides where he want to use this length. If he for some some strange reason
prefers to have an image with a width of 4\baselineskip, why should we forbid this?
