It *could* be made to work inside the EM fairly easily. The same
underlying code is used to generate the Constant Editor style
interface and there's one variable that can be set to determine if
checkboxes / new-style UI is used or if the input boxes are show by
default.

If I remember correctly, its
t3lib_tsStyleConfig->ext_dontCheckIssetValues. We'd also need to make
sure the appropriate JS is included too.  Offhand, the main issue that
comes to mind is make sure that the default EXT_CONF values are set
even if a user doesn't change any values.

Should this be enabled for the EM?
