Whisker is probably somewhere in between "structured" and "unstructured".  I tried to make the various submorphs do as much as possible independently (so there wouldn't be a monolothic class like Browser), but there's still a decent amount of central control.  It's a balance. :)

I'd like to continue to make things less monolithic than they are now... I recently changed the superclass of WhiskerBrowser from Browser to CodeHolder, which is an improvement.  But there's still a bit too much going on in WhiskerWindow.  I really should write up some paragraphs about the current design to encourage folks to mess with it and contribute changes.
