Ah: I was under the impression that they'd done away with the 2D engine altogether & were using a single hardware interface to do both 2D and 3D and that this was the reason for their reticence in revealing the details of the acceleration interface (since it reveals details of the 3D interface which history demonstrates that they don't want to open up).
