On a slightly related note.

A longstanding issue with deformation animations (eg, playing an
animation that changes the positions of bones) is that when the height
is recalculated (eg, shape is changed) the avatar will tend to float
off the ground or sink into it. This can actually be triggered as a
race condition when a new person teleports into the area where others
are wearing an avatar that requires deformations, depending on whether
they load the shape or deformation animations first.

Would including the z-height offset in the shape resolve this problem,
or is the offset simply applied on top of the calculations that cause
the problem?
