I wasn't sure that we had a consensus that it was the right thing to 
do, since in at least one case the centroid method looks worse than 
the current method.  Also, you proposed ideas of accumulating 
transparent triangles in chunks, rather than one big heap, where 
different chunks can have different sorting methods.  I liked the 
idea, but haven't found the time/energy to actually implement it.

Surely, if we just wait long enough, the video card wizards will find 
a way to handle transparency automatically. :-)
