Personally, I think facets should be nuked and replaced by a crackle 
warp that warps all points in a voronoi region to the location of the
centroid of that region.  It wouldn't be a complete replacement, because
the facets normal pattern isn't even like other normal patterns, but
I think you could get similar results for most objects without the 
scalability problems facets has (A given facets normal will make bigger 
facets in areas of low curvature and smaller facets in areas of higher 
curvature, so the same pattern applied to spheres of different sizes 
gives different facets.  Applied to a blob, it gives varying sizes of 
facets over the same object.)
