I'm not really sure it's necessary at this point.  Is there ever a point where the UI is out of sync with the model objects?

I think this might be something that's good to revisit after our initial release. For now, if it's working sufficiently, there's no reason to reinvent the wheel. There's plenty of other tasks needing completion. :-)

That's the lovely thing about CVS. Once my code has been committed as a specific file revision number, it's always preserved.   We can always checkout previous versions of files even after you commit changes.  

So, please go ahead and just overwrite existing methods. Yours clearly are working much better. After all, they're correctly displaying the map layout. ;-)
