Is it worth prioritizing having working incremental layout so that
you can benchmark the architecture for doing incremental updates
(and make sure it performs acceptably) over these tasks that you
list?  (As somebody following from a distance, I'm more concerned
about that, because it seems likely to be the sort of thing that
might require changes in architecture and thus rewriting code that
would implement the above.)

             What I was walling in or walling out,
             And to whom I was like to give offense.
