There are many things to consider when looking at Avalon. For instance
compatibility, it may be better to take the XML from Avalon and
provide an emulation library for displaying it. There is also the
topic of retained vs immediate mode. Is Avalon's imaging model even
based on Postscript? etc, etc...

I'd just like to see XGL up on mesa-solo before chasing other projects.
