Indeed. So please remember that the job of a layout tool is to describe the *geometry* of *physical* objects. It's *not* just a graphical tool, nor should it describe the fabrication procedure. Its foundations must be based on geometric abstractions, not metaphysical intentions. It seems to me that your conception is much closer to Inkscape than mine is.
