Good explanation. Would it be worthwhile creating a filter that exposes them (i.e., coords, normals, texture coordinates, etc) if available, and creates them if not?

That said, I've often wanted an easy to use filter that lets you get access to these, the normals, and the texture coordinates from the GUI. In practice I've always used the python filter to do that.

I have a user that wants to threshold on one of the components of coord, and every time he has to use the calculator to get at this variable.
