   I'm not so sure... :)

   Yes, you can use several "stacked" meshes to accomplish a sort of AA,
as in the example Jim pointed out.

   Theoretically, it could be used to do focal blur, but I've not tried
that experiment yet (it's on the list, of course). I suppose it's just a
matter of creating the meshes so that the face normals are the same on
the focused region, and start to diverge progressively with the face
distance to the focus point. But I'm really bad theorizing... I usually
prove myself wrong when I try things for real.
