NO.
I don't know how the mesh rumor got started, but it's already been stated in
this thread that 2.0 will NOT include mesh support. All the questions are
interesting, but they don't apply yet.

Well, I'd like it if you wouldn't give up hope. It's a hard problem, and you're
not likely to see much change in viewer 2.0. But with the advent of
lighter-weight computing devices at all levels, we do have to evolve a more
bandwidth-flexible set of protocols, and it's an issue that has become a
regular part of our thinking as we consider the future.
