Unfortunately this part is still unclear. Suppose an editor has
multiple views of let's say non-overlapping rectangles of the editor.
Are both views managed by the same editor-admin or does the editor
need to be switched between different editor-admins? In case of
multiple administrators, the current administrator would determine the
``active'' view, but the administrators would have to know of
eachother's existence to be able to produce a correct response to
get-max-view. In case of a single administrator managing multiple
views, knowing about all the views is trivial, but what determines the
active view that is returned by get-view?
