I don't want to start a flame war here but I always wondered why 
"QtQuick 2" had to mean SceneGraph/OpenGL and why the new/changed QML 
types couldn't be separate to the "display engine".

Obviously from a C++ perspective you have to know which engine you're 
using but the QML environment is insulated from the display engine, right?

Maybe it's because the QML types are implemented in C++ that makes it 
difficult to support them across display engines...
