Wow is taking me a while to reply.... busy times.

...The resulting deep image is not all that deep ( exactely one sample per 
pixel )...

"Not all that deep"... do you mean that I will still have issues like aliased 
edges on overlapping geo (like the standard depth comp technique). 


...sample smoke sims and then merge them into a real shot using deep image 
tools...

When you sat "sample" are you talking about rendering "slices" of the smoke 
element that can later be assembled into deep samples? It would be great to see 
an example of this... lets say with Maya or Houdini fluids. 


The deep from frame nodes creates the deep information based on time, the 
resulting data is frozen in time (isn't it?)... that wont work for moving smoke.

Maybe I'll just have to wait for this technology to mature more... no plugin 
writing skills here.

I am not sure if i understand your question properly. If you wanna know of you 
can create deep images from regular images then yes you can provided you give 
them a depth matte. The resulting deep image is not all that deep ( exactely 
one sample per pixel ) but is usable with all the tools and can be combined.
