Adam is considering culling these two properties.

I'd personally like to keep them.  They are probably the only method of
synchronising two boxes who do not share the same parent or a similar
heritage.

A great example is a popupable element.  The popup part has to be in the
surface box so it can be laid over any contents.  How do you define the
x and y for the popup if you have no way of ascertaining the globalx and
globaly of the widget which owns the popup?  Since a box knows nothing
about it's parent, this is impossible without globalx and globaly.
