Please group decide if it warrants inclusion. As Gavin has suggested,
implelinting this as an Inventor node using the dso will allow anyone with webspace and an SGI lachine to view any produced (please that's just the simplest way to demonstrate the capability). I know
that's alot of work if concensus goes against you but I don't think people understand Voxel data well without doing a POC demo.
