Me too.  Our LayoutMorphs expand to contain the miminumExtent of their 
submorphs.

IMHO, the simpler solution is to use a containing LayoutMorh, 
transparent, with a padding.

Easy to explain and calculate for.  Sophisticated uses can set 
edgeWeight offsets,

I do not think that Margins carry their own weight.  I think they are 
useful in very few cases.
