For l3draw, it does make a kind of sense to hand-off typesetting actual
text to the coffins module.

For absolute positioning, I wonder whether it might be reasonable to have
implicit coffins (with nothing inside them, but with poles other coffins
can be attached to) for the page and/or text-block.

Then again, creating these might be functions of the eventual L3 successor
to the geometry package. (Headers and footers and margin notes are all
going to be in coffins, come the day—right?)
