Thanks for all the comments in the thread, it is a lot more clear now - the 
question arose primarily as the elements contain many (at least on a first 
glimpse seemingly) non-GUI related utility elements/classes. While it is 
perfectly clear what the original goal of QtQtuick is, I would like to keep as 
close as possible (but not closer than that :) ) to existing classes and 
documentation for obvious reasons of compatibility and ease of learning. I 
wonder if at some point (just theorizing) it would make sense to spin off the 
utility classes into a QtQuickCore or similar (implicitly included by 
'regular' QtQuick), just like Qt itself has a separate QtCore and QtGui even 
though it is/was a primarily UI toolkit.
