Cool! I don't have much to say about the content, since it's more or
less the same as e.g. the application.

I would like it if we would somehow come up with a term that does not
include the word "script" for the "scripting API/environment", since
the current plan for it really doesn't include much that is script-
like, except for the graphical connecting-together of modules... Oh
well. Perhaps that is scripting, but I think it's not what most
people associate the term with.

I've found some minor typos:

* A missing "such" in the sentence that begins "The data format used
  by the protocol is an easy-to-use", on the second page.
* "Clients no longer needs to" in the same paragraph, drop the 's'.
* Spurious upper-case letters in the feature set for the rendering
  client, on the same page ("Subdivision surfaces, Textures"  etc).
* "hardware exposed by OpenGL 2.0" sounds odd. Better: "hardware
  capabilities exposed by...".
* "portable for multiple", sounds odd. Better: "portable between
  multiple".
* "In this is environment" in the paragraph about Purple should drop
  the spurious "is", I think.
* Missing period after paragraph on radiosity.
