I was aware of the potential for a thread to sit inside a batchUpdate. I guess the basic idea would have been that batchUpdate would be a hint to the UA.
So a stronger hint than "the script is still running?"
I don't think of this as overriding any reasons/behaviors. I thought that this would do more to justify those reasons/behaviors.
I would be more interested (from an implementor point of view) in a block that said "inside this block, no need to do layout even if I ask for layout information". That would provide me with information I don't actually have and allow me to optimize better. However, I think it would be very difficult to use for authors, because it would be too error-prone...
