i disagree...one of the keys to VRW's should be to leave something
undone...allow the users to add small pieces, but never have the whole
completed...there is always something left to the imagination...or else let
parts be individually configurable...for instance users can set up their own
'sets' to fill in the wholes and seitch between "palettes"
