Sure, but they don't generally break if you just return 8 there.
(Compared to eg. HL2/CSS in dxlevel70 without D3DTA_SPECULAR). Of
course the proper way to get around all of the issues at the same time
would be to write a real GLSL fixed function fragment processing
implementation, but that doesn't change the fact that the current
situation is pretty ugly.
