A "document" is composed of sequence of pages with optional background and overlay. In the canvas this could look like:
Displaying multiple pages on canvas side by side may be doable, but it's hard with our current architecture and will be a major change in the traditional workflow. Just think of this: now, you can draw anywhere off the page and the new objects go to the current layer. Where will new objects go if you draw them off-page with multiple pages side by side? This will require quite a rewrite of the canvas code, at least. My approach - treating pages as special layers - is _a lot_ easier to implement, which is why I proposed it. Multiple pages on canvas may be worked on later if necessary, once we get the basic functionality in.
