If you read the Release Notes for the 3DKit under  
/NextLibrary/Documentation/NextDev/ReleaseNotes/QRMSpec.rtfd, the first thing it  
says is

	"This is the 0.1 Beta version of the Quick RenderMan* Interface and 	
	Implementation Specification.  In conjunction with version 3.1 of the
	Pixar RenderMan Interface Specification, this document represents the
	state of the application interface to Quick RenderMan at the time of 
	the release.  The reader is cautioned that  the Quick RenderMan software
	and its application interface are in transition, and that any information 
	appearing herein may become obsolete in the future without warning from 
	Pixar or its affiliates."

I guess this means use qrman with a *very* large grain of salt, and be prepared for  
the implementation to change at any moment.
