A long long time ago it meant a lot more for me to be able to render a 
untextured, unlit, wireframe cube on my Commodore 64 than the fact that 
it wasn't an OpenGL cube with hardware shaders.

Standards and hardware accel are for adults who are trying to 
cost-optimize a product development cycle for products that rely on 
bling rather than gameplay to remain competitive.

Last time I checked the XO is being developed for kids.

So go ye forth and writest the software renderer thouest wishest thou 
had when thee were 12 years old dammit!!
