It's not a matter of having them.  It's a matter of whether they're
independent of the renderer.  I don't think they are.  I think for
say, a graph renderer, it has a default layout which you could
override if you like.

Not a graph renderer accepting a graph layout object.  I think that's
heavyweight.  Though we're still not sure on how it'll look.  This is
something we're just going to have to feel out through code I suppose.
