I agree that a way to add "external application-specific" info could be 
of use. Also, it should be made accessible in python, of course. It 
would help for my similar project of using Blender to build scenes for 
NeoEngine.

About the per-face normals.. in that file you pointed me to (Ton),  the 
functions simply make a cross product and normalise. Does this mean that 
the vertices are consistently oriented?
