I've got a little question. Why are you working so hard on BFC.
The rendering in Ldraw, L3lab, MLcad,.... is already very fast.
Is the speed improvement gained with BFC supposed to provide the extra time,
so you can turn an model in realtime, with a rendering quality equal to
pov-ray?
Why don't you use the 3D-videocard's rendering capabilities through opengl
or so?

Or am I just completely missing the point?

Hy, I finaly got internet-access here, and could follow the discussions about BFC. Some words I would like to say first: I think it doesn't make sence to blame Steve about BFC stuff, since I asked him if the spec is in a state that we could try it. (...)
