The ability to have persistent variables will outweigh any possible negatives.
It
will allow utilities authors to take a great step forward in animation.

Also think I'll stir up another long discussion:
What about a Browser that uses .pov scene files? VRML is crappy in my opinion.

That is what happens when it is developed only by people on T3's. The POV
scene file could be transferred much quicker ( although primarily simpler
scenes at
first). The renderer could be written in OGL for xplatform. Still use most of
the
HTML that people are used to. I do not have much knowledge of the POV parser
code and that in itself is huge.

Just a suggestion / idea
