If there's going to be just one view in the system (advantageous
overall) then IMHO it needs to be simultaneous ... unless you can
afford to punt on namespace-oblivious software, which few folk
really can afford.  (DOM couldn't, as one example.)

I think that any "single view" approach is cleaner than any kind
of "selectable view" approach.  Modes at low levels just percolate
on up the stack.  While there are places that modes are the right
solution, I don't think this is one.
