    v1 v2  
    2323  * layers exist to handle the more "advanced" features of rendering
    2424  * smfr: layers designed to solve problems like scrolling and clipping that affect a set of render objects in one go
     25
     26* eseidel: what are the problems we're trying to solve?
     27  * (??) need render layers to support z-index (for svg 2.0 and z-stacking not in document order)
     28  * jamesr: we want to composited into svg
     29  * enne: rendering / layers are hard to test
     30  * dave barton: mathml is very painful - math layout is bottom-up from the children of the node, not top-down left-to-right on the page
     31  * jamesr / jchaffraix: tables are very similar
     32  * eseidel: if you call setNeedsLayout(False), you should be able to do whatever you want inside your own elements
     33    * jchaffraix: this means we don't reuse other code
     34    * eseidel: there are other layout models other than the renderboxmodel
     35    * eseidel: also there's computePreferredWidths()
     36    * dave barton: this is kinda what he does in mathml
     37    * jamesr: maybe mathml shouldn't be deriving from renderboxmodelobject?
     38    * dave barton: but we do use a lot of it - maybe this is more a question about writing your own render object and should be in the other talk?
