That's because the AOs in TPVs are necessarily incomplete - because they
cannot integrate with the server-side. If Linden Lab *were* considering just
dropping similar functionality into the viewer without additional
server-side integration, I'd consider that to only be half a job.

ie: If Linden Lab basically copied what the TPVs do for the official viewer
then creators would once again likely wind up in the position of telling
customers "No, you can't use the builtin thingy. You have to use the
scripted thingy instead, or it won't work properly. Why? Well, it's kind of
complicated to explain..." That's a point of friction that users don't need.
