There have been changes...and wasn't there a limitation on what patterns 
could be used as normals in the 3.0.x versions? I think some of those 
changes had to do with allowing any pattern to be used.
Anyway, there will be even more changes...check out MegaPOV for a 
"preview" of what 3.5 should be like. Most of the changes have to do 
with making the normal scale more reasonably, they now act much more 
like actual surface deformations would.
