I understand that images, just like other objects, may "interact" (i.e. wrap,
columnize, ...) with "text" objects. This certainly ties into the rendering
process (i.e. object placement, scaling, ...), but may be complementary to the
layering aspect. Interestingly, the wrap (i.e. paragraph/page layout)
functionality could be implemented in terms of laying out objects residing on
the same layer.

I think the "layers on a canvas" paradigm is fundamental to the document
rendering procedure. However, document layout (i.e. the "text processor") may
involve both pre- (in order to accommodate text-object interactions and similar
features), as well as post-processing steps (as far as the "text processor"
requires information about the overall layering configuration).

Yes, this may decay to a dupe of bug 95812, I will mark it accordingly.
