I haven't commented on the forum post, but I think that with a little bit of a modification to the C++ code that interprets the materials.xml file, we can integrate this scheme, either by enhancing the materials.xml file parser to support passing generic parameters to effects files, or something tied to this particular scheme. I'm happy to look at doing that after the release. >From my perspective, I think there are lots of opportunities like these where with a bit of core code work we can integrate new features like this much more effectively.
