 I don't know if this is already recognized, but the most plugins which
 used the buttonsnap.php class from Owen Winkler didn't work anymore with
 the new TinyMCE version in 2.1 . This will bring a bigger problem for the
 most users, when a couple of plugins don't show the plugin button in the
 RTE.

 I know that buttonsnap is not a core part of wordpress, but you should
 remind that a plenty of plugins have the requirement to show a button, and
 they use many times buttonsnap as the easiest solution.

 At the moment it needs 6(!) action hooks/filter to show a simple button
 and some time to study the TinyMCE "plugin" documentation at moxiecode.
 Maybe there is some way to implement a core hook in the tinyMCE plugin
 folder , which assist a button integration in the way of the buttonsnap
 class.

 On the other hand a extended codex description could be also very
 usefull...

 Alex
