Hello,

There are, in my opinion, missing capabilities for the new viewer 2
features, namely the capabilities dealing with inventory item links
support, multiple attachments per point support, and multiple clothing
layers support.

Without the correpsonding capabilities, it is impossible for the viewer
to adapt its sets of tools to the servers in OpenSim grids. Of course,
I could just make the assumption that these features are only available
in SL and then disable them for OpenSim, but I'm pretty sure they will
appear in the latter, sooner or later...

So, either LL implements the corresponding new capabilities in their
server (and future viewer versions), or we would need OpenSim server
developpers to "reserve" the capabilities (so that the viewer developpers
may simply test for either the SL grids or the presence of the
capabilities to decide whether the corresponding features should be
enabled or not after login).

It's also a bit worrying to see that LL doesn't seem to care much any
more about backward compatibility (and therefore about OpenSim
compatibility)...

Any thought on this ?

Henri.
