Last time I talked to him, his only concern was whether it should be done
on entry or exit or both.  Personally, I think blurred transmission is a 
property of the texture you apply to a surface, so if you want it on only
one side of your pane of glass, you only apply that texture to that one
face.  If he doesn't do it, I'll take a look and see what I can do, because
I'd kinda like it too.
