Probably "NURBSs". The "S" stands for "Spline", and you simply tack an 
"s" on the end to make it "Splines", so I would do the same for the

Not the only drawback...it will use more memory and the lack of adaptive 
render-time tesselation means you would have more triangles than you 
needed, or visible faceting.

Well, I couldn't use spatch. I could use PatchDance, though...
