StackElement is only a marker for improved containment hierarchies. We should at least make it abstract but also as an interface like WindowElement, ...

Tom, please no model changes now...

I agree that there have been a number of 'ad hoc' changes to the model as we try to meet the 4.0 SDK release date but I think we should wait until after we get this thing out before making any more changes that are not directly related to this task.

BTW, I'm in complete agreement that we should do a model redux very soon after we go out to pick up some of these defects.

This is a none breaking change it only declares an element abstract/interface nobody should create an instance of. I don't see how this could break something.

I'm not trying to bring in none breaking changes but e.g. the reflective editor and Yves generic stuff will allow you to create instance of this.
