[Cosmo-dev] UI layout and rendering doc

[Jeremy Epstein]

hey Matthew

So I've built an appropriate wrapper for the sidecar issue but it won't 
be ready until the weekend
I also built into contentbox a mechanism for insuring there are no 
circular rendering issues (where a set of nodes keeps rerendering 
themselves because of circular parent-child relationships)
There is a new class ViewportContentBox. It implements the ContentBox 
interface, but is not strictly a subclass. (its important to make sure 
the rendering tree behaves consistently if content is to be interchangeable)
