yes. i think it's called "Annotation Text" and there's besn talk about
it for 1.1, though I don't totally recall what the consensus was/is.
that was for text -- i don't think we discussed it for objects in
general.
personally, i'd opt for better user interfaces and better-designed
worlds -- when text always faces me it reminds me how artificial
the world is. -- but hey, i could see people using it.
come to think of it, it is a nice way to hack together a world quickly
-- just have a texture map on it -- maybe with LOD on the texture
!!! could be cool.
I'm still not clear about putting oddly-shaped textures on oddly-shaped
objects, though i gather that's something we're all trying to clarify
in the spec at this point.

this is definitely the proper place.
