I think the library should be scaleable in respect to the space management. We can implment a set of predefined space managemenet strategies/polices, all the great stuff that we can come up with. However the user should be able to customize them in any way she likes. For instance the row/col management strategy can be just one of the predefined set. In general, I think that it is just an issues of clear definitions of space management basics that can be utilized by various specilized algorithms.
