Most of our Onyx customers use multisample transparency,
and so depth sorting is not required, and those that need
higher quality blending get by with Performer's default
mode of drawing transparent geometry last. But those apps
that need to use blended transparency and have multiple
layers of transparent objects are in a difficult position.
So we hope to get depth sorting of transparent geometry
into 2.0.

If you're in a real pinch, 1.2 has an undocumented feature
that allows billboards to be depth sorted.
