yes, absolutely.  this is something we've planned to do
from the beginning.  indeed, my estimate is that we can
represent all exterior spaces with something like a
thousand non-convex contours, each of which has the same
space type throughout (sidewalk, road, grass, etc.) and
each of which is the union of tens or hundreds of triangles.

vitaly, comments on feasibility of doing this in the near term?
