In the current design, a HaloMorph is submorph of the world, and has no 
owner / submorph relationship with its target Morph. So, it doesn't 
really know anything about the coordinate system of the target. The 
object that knows how coordinate systems get transformed by morphs is 
the Canvas, as it traverses the World morph tree to draw morphs. It felt 
like a convenient place to do it. It is possible that we find a better / 
nicer design, though. If play a bit with this stuff, maybe you can 
suggest an alternative.

Thanks!
