(This is slightly OT, but I'd argue that the OpenGL problem is not that spec
conformance per se, but the proliferation of vendor specific extensions, and
extensions in general; and the fix is not conformance testing but the ARB
ratifying the extensions people care and lumping extensions in core versions.
It looks things are moving on the right direction. That said, latest core
version is 4.0 and we're still in 2.1, so I'm thankful for extensions that get
us half way there.)

Anyway, Ian, I see you strongly feel against the proposed patch, but I still am
not sure exactly what you oppose: diverging the spec, or adding the extensions
to meet an application's requirement? That is, would fully implementing
NV_fragment_program2 to the spec and advertising it for SPECviewperf11's sake
be OK with you or not, and why?
