-1. **Which end of the connection maintains a column's width hint?** The client end knows
-   which values are potentially in its viewport, so it can maintain the hint over the
-   values it holds, fed by the deltas it already receives. The host end can maintain it
-   over a whole column, through the graph, including values the client has never held.
-   It would then need the request's hidden rows (clause 7's overlay) and, for numbers, the

-   computes a whole-column hint only where a client asks for one, as a filter operator
-   on its connection (clause 9).
