Notecards are a particularly rough storage choice if I understand the
way they're stored and retrieved.

Dahlia,
Actual mesh file format support, through an extensible asset storage
interface, using notecards for extended support of new datatypes not
officially approved by LL? What a concept.
Actually I've been thinking about an extensible asset storage method
for a while. This would allow people to develop new client features
that go way above and beyond what asset types LL directly supports, to
splice in whatever 3D or other object support they want. NURBS, whatever.
Just as long as notecards can handle binary data rather than plain
text -- or use something like yEnc on usenet for putting raw binary
into notecards. Just segment the data across chains of notecards, as
in actual Usenet postings. Do we next throw in PAR encoding for when
all the notecards don't load? ;-)
Heck, don't even need LL approval to do this, as long as the new
exentisible asset storage is compatible with the existing notecard
data type. (I can hear a dozen Lindens going.. whoah... whoah... slow
down..)

How about just putting the text of a .obj file into a notecard and
using that? It would be compatible with the current asset system.
