Michael. Glad to see Nvidia contributing to this. However, I disagree with
adding support for "open interchange" with Mdl materials, since that is a
vendor specific format. Wouldn't it make more sense to focus on materialx
(which you guys have a Mdl back end for anyway). We (AMD) are starting this
effort now with materialx and would welcome the contribution.

Not trying to call out anything but let's not add more vendor specific
stuff to "open Software".
