As long as it stays optional I suppose it's OK. But, for example,
assuming a frontend has even grouped things in a similar fashion is an
over-assumption of the generic code imo.

You expect me to actually read code before commenting on it ? This is
not the lyx-devel way !

I'm just grumpy. The amount of time we've (and especially you) put in
working around and working over xforms is enormous. By contrast
something like Qt is lovely, moc warts aside.
Maybe because when I was even lamer than I am now I wrote a toolkit so
have at least some idea of how hard it is (pretty hard but not so hard
;)
