Any idea when the 1.0 spec will be out?

I disagree with Chris on the 1.0 part, Sinbad is quite possible to do, just
a lot of work to get a 3D engine that is inherently designed with C++ in
mind. I think new 3D engine designs based on what is possible in D, is a
much more worthwhile thing to do, or at least port a engine that don't use
multiple inheritance.
