I was actually in the midst of putting together some webbable material
on low-error radiosity when it occurred to me to ask this question.
Won't be done for a while, though; I'm still making a demo scene, and
that takes a while to render (and eats more RAM than I can really give
it; low-error is pretty RAM-intensive).
