The reasoning here is: 1) World-stepping should be permitted to be IO because there might be outside influences on the world state (ex: a networked game). 2) Rendering the world should be permitted to be IO because there might be outside information needed (texture loading, map tile retrieving, etc). This would be particularly useful for work like gloss-osm, that allows immediate rendering by presenting missing tiles with a default until the download is complete.
