There were a few public discussions about it iirc but I don't recall
anyone coming up with a working, non-patented solution (except for
something called 'marching octahedrons' similar to the 'marching
cubes' algorithm which is patented) nor do I recall the Team
announcing any plans for 4.0 regarding tesselation.

Then again, that's what rumors are for :) Just don't start believing
them :))
