> No. I think platform should not be built on top of the fractional system we invent for layout.
> We can have scrolling machinery in platform that works without knowing that the thing its scrolling is using some different type for its internal layout. I don’t see why the scrolling machinery itself needs to deal with fractional pixels.

Right, we currently (on our branch) have the fractional pixels passed down into the first layer of the platform code in a few places where it is then converted to the relevant type for the platform. It sounds like you'd like this to be done entirely outside of platform.

That seems perfectly reasonable and is in many ways a better solution.
