You mean composition, like in CompositionScanner ?
Do you wish to handle font selection, line splitting, graphics
embedding, alignment, margins, indentations, tab stops, inter line
spacing etc... in Smalltalk?

If you use external rendering, you'll have to use external layout
measurement, no?
Then basic rendering API might have to cope with inter letter spacing
adjustment (with kerning) and inter word spacing adjustment...
Is that what you're looking for, splitting responsibilities in current
implementation?
