That looks fine. In particular it's in line with my belief that the way
to get thread safety is to move the state inside the objects rather than
have them as globals. There may be a need for some globals eg default
page sizes/fonts etc. Probably these shortcuts are wrong in the long run
(people are always complaining that page size changes don't work in doc
templates etc).
