Dec 1, 2010 at 16:11 comment added Ryan Budney In that article you cite, Kaufmann mentions the thickened surface motivation above, plus a combinatorial motivation. I suppose knots in thickened surfaces you could think of as a "generic" picture of a knot in a 3-manifold equipped with a Heegaard splitting. But it's not clear to me this is anything more than a fairly technical observation -- I mean, I don't know if it goes anywhere interesting.
