Is it time for some re-thinking of the approach to 3-D?  I am a 
bystander, but I have the uneasy sense that trying to turn mplot3d into 
a first-class 3-D plotting tool may be a misapplication of effort. 
Might the effort be more productive if applied to mayavi, or built on 
mayavi, so that the 3-D engine is already taken care of?
