Fair enough, it sounds like decisions have been made. :-) Personally, I
think its a shame - it's not at all clear to me that abstraction and
encapsulation deserve such primacy, at the expense of so many other
things - but it is what it is. I look forward to seeing how the API
shapes up.

Well, one of the things that is being discussed is wrapping the low-level
API's into an abstraction layer then using that abstraction to build the
retained mode API. This would give you access immediate mode rendering,
and it would be easier to expose the rendering context to that API than it
would be the retained mode API.
