We've had this discussion before, search the archives for the discussion (end of July was certainly one time it popped up). In general, we want like to avoid putting presentation related information into models, since they should be presentation independent as much as possible. The fact that we haven't avoided that entirely so far isn't an excuse to slide further down that slope.
