 # Things TODO for a next release:
 #   - Switch to the Mesh structure, should be considerably faster
-#    (partially done, but cannot sort faces, yet)
+#    (partially done, but with Mesh we cannot sort faces, yet)
 #   - Use a better depth sorting algorithm
 #   - Review how selections are made (this script uses selection states of
 #     primitives to represent visibility infos)
 #   - Implement clipping of primitives and do handle object intersections.
 #     (for now only clipping for whole objects is supported).
-#   - Implement Edge Styles (silhouettes, contours, etc.)
+#   - Implement Edge Styles (silhouettes, contours, etc.) (partially done).
 #   - Implement Edge coloring
 #   - Use multiple lighting sources in color calculation
-#   - Implement Shading Styles?
-#   - Use another representation for the 2D projection? 
+#   - Implement Shading Styles? (for now we use Flat Shading).
+#   - Use a data structure other than Mesh to represent the 2D image? 
 #     Think to a way to merge adjacent polygons that have the same color.
-#   - Add other Vector Writers.
+#     Or a way to use paths for silhouettes and contours.
+#   - Add Vector Writers other that SVG.
+#   - Consider SMIL for animation handling instead of ECMA Script? (Firefox do
+#     not support SMIL for animations)
+#   - FIX the issue with negative scales in object tranformations!
