It would actually be pretty easy to do, and it's a feature I've been 
looking at implementing. In a way, they are already...the offset feature 
specifies the distance along the fourth dimension of all the points. You 
just can't have variation in that direction.
Anyway, I do plan on trying it out, as part of some extensions to the 
BSP code to more optimally handle the 2D and 1D cases (where all points 
are in a axis-aligned plane or aligned along a line).

I'd also like to implement a 4D noise pattern, which is something I've 
seen used for things like flames...
