So translating COLOR15 away in a DX9 state tracker would mean that it would have to examine pairs of vertex and fragment shaders together and re-translate to generate varients that use the same set of remapped semantics, right? That sounds like extra work a DX9 state tracker could avoid with the current rules. I'm not opposed to doing more work in the state-trackers, but as I keep saying, if we're going to do this type of hand-holding in the state trackers, we should make sure we do enough to fix the re-translation problem in all drivers, not just a couple.
