It's the kind of thing that will be better handled in hardware some
day, when much more of the pipe is covered by hardware.  I agree with
Curt that the savings would be small in most cases; the exceptions
would be, say taxiing beside a terminal building that conceals a lot
of high-triangle-count static planes on the other side.  At altitude,
it won't help much.


All the best,
