Thats useful to know John, thanks for passing that on. My initial 
reaction is that kind of thing should be supportable by relevant APIs, 
and I dare say, would be relatively easier, as it seems related to 
current 'knowns'.

Again, useful to know - and this kind of thing could be useful in terms 
of the kind of 'modality muting' - where unnecessary renderings of an 
environment (such as the visual drawing), can be cut out of the data stream.

Thanks
