Screens Setting Layouts

[Donald S Bell <be...@us.ibm.com>]

Why can a Screen object set's its Layout?

My understanding is layout contains a screen.  Because a screen is just a
component on a layout why can a screen dictate which layout it resides on.
This rule seems incorrect because this is the same thing as a button saying
which form it can be placed on.

Thanks,

The screen is the main piece of the response, so it makes sense that it
is key used to define which layout is appropriate.  A button is not
generally the primary focus of the form but just one of many equals.

It is not wrong, it works great if the problem you are solving fits. 
The screen/nav distinction does not make as much sense, when the page is
supposed to be an aggregation of equal bits of information.  Turbine3
should address these other cases (such as portals).
