Might become worth it - it has already ceased to be a strictly 
single-value statement.

Hm... that's actually a neat idea! So far I had understood the idea to 
be about getting a different brightness or roughness for different 
points on the object - which I wouldn't have considered too 
entertaining, given that this can be achieved with texture maps already.

But modulating the highlight intensity (or even colour) according to the 
highlight falloff - that's something new indeed.

Yup.
