I agree...it isn't based on the object, it is just specific to the
portions of the image where that object is visible.

One problem...media containers, windows, and other low-visibility
transparent surfaces. And you can't just pick the highest AA settings
hit...maybe you have a scene with a starry sky, and want lower settings
there so they don't get AA'd into oblivion. You'd want to be able to
exclude such objects, or maybe use the first hit that specifies a
per-object AA setting rather than the first hit. But then, what's the
first hit with an AA setting? Are reflections ignored? Say you have a
highly reflective window into another room. The other room has an object
with one custom AA setting, the room you're in has an object with
another custom setting, and the reflection of that one overlaps the
transmitted image of the other.
Maybe it would be possible to separate the antialiasing of shape
geometry, texture, reflection, and transparency...but the system starts
to get a lot more complex. And what do you do at the edges? Say you have
a high-AA object partially in front of a no-AA object...

I think picking the highest AA setting along the path of the ray would
be the easiest to implement and would work in many situations quite
well. The overall setting would be the minimum and object specific
settings would only increase this. Then there would not be any means to
lower AA settings for certain objects below the overall AA settings but
is that a big problem? There would still be a possibility to lower the
overall settings.

....and that to me, sounds like a better idea.

Or until the variance drops below some value. Focal blur uses such an
adaptive algorithm, it could probably be adapted to blurred reflection.

I didn't exactly add this suggestion to the Q&T, but some updated
information has been added to the blurred reflection trick text due to
many valid points in this thread.

Thanks for additions! Now it basically covers both approaches.
