I dunno... Allowing the language to be selected like a video codec or image file format seems like a reasonable request.

There are three issues:

1) Language pluggable?

2) Spec-ed shader languages

3) Mandatory languages

The proposal was:

1) No

2 & 3) GL SL ES

Microsoft proposed:

1) Yes

2) GL SL ES

3) None

The perfectly reasonable compromise would have been:

1) Yes

2 & 3) GL SL ES
