Hi Ken
Would it be possible in the algorithm to process edges (between adjacent verts)
then it doesn't matter if its a tri or quad.
2 edges are required for a face in both.
Perhaps then it may be possible to select an number of adjacent or adjoining 
edges and face them at the same time instead of just one.
