Paul's & xcal's lsxcommand mojo

OK, I've been playing with Paul's/xcal's lsxcommand-enhancing stuff. 
It's a great way of making lsx both more useful and cooler-looking, but 
there is still a few things that I can't seem to figure out.

First of all: updating the history label. I've been racking my brain 
trying to think of a way of doing that when commands are launched from 
lsxcommand. As xcal noted, it seems that CommandOnCommand is run 
*before* anything is written to the history file. As for autorecycle, I 
just can't get that module to work. I've tried setting it to watch 
lsxcparser's output file, but nothing happens. Not a damn thing. A 
possible way of doing it -- and I'm just theorizing here -- might be 
using a timer. IOW, having CommandOnCommand start a timer that after, 
say, 2000ms updates the history label. But maybe that won't make any 
difference. Does anyone have any bright ideas?

Secondly -- and this is more of a general xLabel obeservation -- it 
seems that hrefhoverconfig isn't working. I wanted to highlight the 
history entries when hovering over them, but no matter what tags or 
chars I try, the label just ignores my efforts. I havent used that 
setting since xLabel 3.6.2, so I'm wondering: could it be broken or is 
there some other setting that needs to be activated for it to work?

And finally -- xcal, if you're reading this: It seems that lsxcparser 
only plucks ten lines from the history file. Is there some way to 
increase this number? I normally have a longer lsx history than that, 
and having the parser fetch *all* lines (except [lsxcommand] of course) 
would really make more sense. Any chance of seeing an update to the 
parser? ;)
