Hi Ken, I use nmesh.transform(matrix) a lot for exporters, should be 
trivial, and could use the same syntax as  NMesh.
An equivilent to NMesh.getRawFromObject is needed for exporters (maybe 
there could be added a function like Alt+C, then you get the resulting mesh)
Another usefull function is scanfill. though this will probably be a 
editmode only function too.
I have also needed a "Recalc Normals Outside" function, with some mesh 
generation its tricky to work out wich way to flip the face,

I was wondering if the editMode functions work when there are no ed 
views open?

Good progress ;) It might be some time before I convert most of my 
scripts across, but I intend to where appropriate.
