i think page is a good thing. pushing data
translation to the edges makes programs like
resample much simplier. they can assume plan 9
images. and you don't end up linking every
program to the same enormous library.
Ok, I buy that -- you want a canonical format and you want
multiple frontends and backends cooperating using it.
But what would such an architecture look like from
an FS perspective?
Supposed I want resample to operate on movie frames.
Thanks,
