AFAIR, there is also/related the wish to use the Draw drawing layer for 
Writer too.

We want to improve the Draw drawing layer capabilities before binning it
out because there are a few things that are useful in Writer. The most
important one is to be able to layout anything inside a graphic object
in Writer.

The reason: in OOXML / docx you can have any kind of content inside a
shape (rectangle, ellipse, and so on)... In the Draw drawing layer you
can have only simple text, but in Writer you can have this for Fly
frames. Having a single way to layout both would be nice and would avoid
loosing data in some OOXML files.

And of course, each of those (FlyFrames and drawing objects) have a
different UNO API with different properties...
