The presentation layer (the "V"iew) normally has the responsibility of 
presenting the data given to it by the "C"ontroller (in MVC).   This is 
normally as HTML with the appropriate bells and whistles.

Basically you would consider anything that generates stuff to _present_ 
data to the user as the presentation layer.

Unless the EGL debugger is very very good, you _WILL_ end up having to 
investigate why some code does not work for user X running Windows Y 
with browser Z with some strange language settings, and it will again 
imply understanding what goes on in the generated code.  Just so you 
know - it WILL happen :)
