Ok, so the region reference is the right place for borders and
padding; a posteriori it seems reasonable: the viewport defines the
"window", the reference area starts defining what we see ... (but I
could easily convince myself of the other option too :-) )

I could split the matod
AbstractPathOrientedRenderer.drawBackAndBorders() in two
drawBackground() / drawBorders() methods, as the background trait is
still in the viewport while borders and padding will be in the
reference area.

Thanks for the feedback (to Andreas too)
