I don't either -- and neither does Larry. ("Might this be useful for insets
in general?") Perhaps he lost valuable ERT once :-/

The practical problem I see is that deleting an inset is from the main
document POV not really different from deleting a character. It isn't
really an inset thing as such.
Therefore an alternative proposal: what about introducing an inset --
we could call it InsetProtected -- that protects everything inside it
from deletion? A little easier to code on the document level. And the
thing remains (more) localized.
