Hi Måns How frustrating. The license for VexTab definitely prevents us from distributing it under the same licensing terms as TW itself.
I think that rules out making it any kind of official plugin that is distributed from tiddlywiki.com. I remain very happy to help if anyone else is interested in creating a widget around vextab.
