Well, like you say, I got sidetracked too :-) Only yesterday, while 
messing around in my POV backyard, I came across it and thought about 
what I could do with it, except making height_fields. This seemed one of 
the interesting possibilities I wanted to share.

As the output of your utility has a strong 3D look, I was wondering if 
there would be a possibility to render the strands in a 3 dimensional 
way other than the classic height_fields, something like your fractals? 
I suppose the voids would be the challenge...

Very good! Nothing wrong with sidetracking though ;-)
