When you say "mesh" here, are you speaking specifically of the Mesh  
geometry, or do you use the word mesh in a more general sense?  I  
usually use TriMesh geometries.  I would think that one could  
invalidate a cached display list on Q3TriMesh_UnlockData and  
Q3TriMest_SetData, and rebuild it just in time.
