The old joke:
If the black box can survive a crash, why don't they just build the whole airplane 
out of the black box?

Similarly:
If a 2D geo in a gem window is the most efficient way to draw an object, why not 
just make canvases be opengl windows?

I imagine the answer might be "because it's not that simple", but I thought I'd ask anyway.
