So we want to move to the convention that Vobs are in (0,0)..(1,1)?
Any opposition?

Yes, but here there are more implementation details than usually.

Hmmm.

How about keeping it outside the core for now, making an implementation
on top of it, and then, later, we can move it in once it's really
solid.

The thing about the core is that it's much easier to add stuff than
to remove. Every feature that goes in must be really carefully specified
to make sure it doesn't get out of hand.

I mean, I'm not saying absolutely no to this but I want us to mull over
this for quite some time before doing it - at least a couple of releases.

I really want us to understand all the tradeoffs. Also, how much 
policy would the core need to handle for this: e.g. on text 
insertion, how does it decide which cells things go into?
