I had a long chat with Kevin Rushforth about this today. I'm not sure
what we'll see in J3D 1.3 but there will definitely be updates for 1.4.
I'm putting together a set of proposals for dealing with this sort of
extension information and will post that off to Sun after Siggraph.
There is a semi working way of doing this now through the getProperty()
method available in Canvas3D, except you have to know the names of the
properties you are looking for - which nobody outside Sun seem to know
:( It doesn't work all the time, and is not even guaranteed to represent
sane results, but it might be worth playing with.
