Cool, so you can work on the Z-Axis right?

Does this allow basically you to define a collection of "steps"? or a  
collection of "light bars"? (screenshot is probably easiest to explain)

Very cool stuff, perhaps we can use something like asciidoc tags as  
the markup in a plain text file?

This is exactly why I want the modal stuff :)  I want the user to be

Would this only be able to handle Text or can we make it generic to  
also handle a collection of Textures (wraped in Banner).
