Agreed.  For most real live 3D graphics systems there's so much more that
you want to do in floating point than just normal arithmetic.  You are
generally forced to wrap an underlying 3D graphics or visualization library
(VTK, OpenGL, whatever) that the notion of float vs. double is a secondary
consideration.
