[Glen] OK, I'd like to 1) rename TreeExt to OffDocumentItem (to clarify what it's really for) 2) change it from an interface to an abstract base class. 3.) Have this base class hold the "when" parameter for when this ODI is to be generated, so the "when" does not need to be hardcoded into A

[Glen] Actually, to clarify what I wrote: why do we need an extension interface (TreeExt) for objects placed outside the document (pdf bookmarks/metadata), while *not* needing one for extension objects that end up placed *on* the document? You subclass Area for elements on the document and TreeExt

[Glen] Still, I wonder if it may be better to do away with this interface and just hardcode the layout/rendering of these objects (i.e. bookmarks) directly, just like we do all the other Area objects that are created during the layout process. This would simplify area.extensions.BookmarkData and
