+1 for customization.

Yoz has shown a more levelheaded approach to the UI problem than Oz Linden.
Both are under LL corporate constraints, to be sure.

I see 5 streams of development, going forward:

* 1.x TPVs that cherry pick the best bits of V2 features
* 2.x TPVs that cherry pick the best bits of V2 features, and in some cases,
offer patches to go back into the official 2.x stream
* 2.x LL viewer, where developers decide they can work with the process and
constraints of LL
* exploratory work at developing a viewer with Unity as a foundation
* everything else (Ajax, iPhone, Android, etc)

I dont think 5 streams are sustainable, but that is where we seem to be at
the moment.

A customizable UI would do much to circle the 1.x and 2.x development effort
wagons.
