Yes and no.

I agree that in general it probably should not be relevant (in scope) -
HOWEVER, we've already run across at least some discussion points where it
becomes important (such as rendering outside of the "bounding box").  So I
think we're going to have to touch on it, at least as it impacts the use
of the technology - even if we don't necessary specify implementation.
