I don't consider it all that bad.
Although I recognize that some (perhaps many) rendering methods will
render overlaid transparent areas as darker than non-overlaid areas.
But studs drawn in the normal way (stud.dat primitives plopped on the
top of a box5.dat primitive) will do the same thing.
In this case of discs (or ndis, or cyli's, or whatever) adjoining
'non-curved' areas, maybe there could be a meta-statement to identify
this situation?
