I think these are more long term than 12.1...
A client using only OpenGL would take some _serious_ effort... A client
using OpenGL only for the map (and related graphics) might be more
realistic but I still don't think I've seen any signs of anyone willing
and able to do even that very soon...

Of course, I'd really like to do a really spaced out client... More of
Virtual Reality than an ordinary client with a 3d-map... :) But I
wouldn't hold my breath (or any release :) waiting for that...

Should be very possible to lay a foundation for this and have it
implemented in part... Eg, I think it's ok to release if there is a
tutorial for the citydialog but not for the dilomacydialog...

Nice goal... I don't think we can require this ALL,ALL though...
But I guess it's a good target to aim for...
