baby steps, baby steps ...

In Croquet and OpenGL, is it acceptable to have vertices (and their
normals and texture coords) in a mesh that are not referenced by faces
and therefore not rendered?

Or ... is there somewhere in Croquet a nice example (that I can
reuse!) of removing a face and potentially (verifying that they are
not referenced by other faces) the associated vertices, etc. ?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

This should not pose a problem.

Thanks Josh!  What about discontiguous faces in a single mesh?  A few
faces over here and a few faces over there ...

That should also be fine.

Re: removing the associated vertices, I don't believe that Croquet has any
code like this.
