Perhaps I see the source of the problem.

Looking at xsltforms.js this morning, I see that the function 
XsltForms_input.prototype.initInput unconditionally assigns a 
value to initinfo.setup; unless I am even more confused than
usual, this will have the side effect of ignoring any value supplied
by the user for the ’setup’ property of the TinyMCE initialization
object.  (That would explain why my buttons aren’t showing up.)

I suppose one could simply say “If the user has supplied 
a setup() function, use it”, and make it the user’s responsibility
to define the appropriate actions for the KeyUp, Change, Undo,
and Redo events (by copying what’s in those lines of 
xsltforms.js).

It might be cleaner to add a user hook to the default setup() 
function.  That is, if the user supplies a property named (say)
‘Xsltforms_usersetup’ in the TinyMCE initialization object, then
the default setup function calls that user-supplied function.

What do you think?
