JavaFX 3D : TriangleMesh specification questions

[Chien Yang]

Hi August,

       This is good to know. I have the implementation ready and about 
to bring it through the internal review process for approval before I 
can push it into the main line. I would expect it be ready for the 
public later next week if everything goes smoothly.

BTW, you can monitor its progress via the JIRA: 
https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-29236

Thanks,
- Chien
