This question sounds great becouse it's suggestion you are near final
implementation.

I imagine all above should be optional. For example: there is no simple way to
recreate texture of differently colored blob's components, so sampling colors
(or even all texture components) for vertices should be possible. But when
complicated iso-stone is tesselated then there is no need to store texture for
every vertex but whole mesh should inherit texture from mesh.

Also it could be great to inherit uv-coordinates when available. For example
parametric object is very slow in rendering but looks it could be possible to
apply uv-mapping to it. Recreating this object with loop along functions gives
not optimized mesh. Recreating it with tesselation gives optimized triangles
but without uv-mapping.
