John,
I'm confused about Globals.view[]... a "_list_ of nested _trees_ of 
blocks" sounds like an oxymoron: it implies that every event boundary 
can only have one event boundary within it, though I think we need to 
leave the door open to a hierarchy of event boundaries -- imagine when 
we have two detail views visible (either sharing the main window, or in 
separate subwindows)... or maybe I'm missing something about how this is 
to be used?
