That's not a trouble, that's a necessity.  It makes absolutely no sense 
whatsoever to draw one dataset hidden-lined, but another one directly. 
This distinguishes hidden3d from essentially all other current or former 
global splot filters (dgrid3d, contouring, pm3d).

Hidden-lining is, by definition, a property of the plot at large, not of 
the individual dataset.
