Hmm.  I think I should have added one thing: The API should also be
freely available.

While I have no reason to believe that SGI's API is anything less
than great, I don't think I would be able to convince Sony that
we should replace our existing API if we have to license it from
another company.

Now, if SGI were to consider making their API specification freely
available...
