Yes, that's a problem, but it's difficult to fix in a general way.  The
corners should remain sharp so smoothing the whole mesh isn't an option. 
I would have to save additional topology data.  

An alternative would be to trigger smoothing if the angle between
triangles is below a certain threshold.  If anyone has ability and time to
implement this that would be great.

Thanks.
