Just a clarification about this point. This is nothing new, you have been 
able to do this (Change the scaling of an animated texture) via LSL for at 
least 18 months.

But it IS a bug that it is allowed via LSL but not via the texture edit 
controls. In fact editing an object that you have scripted this way reverts 
it, it's almost like a bug in the UI code itself rather than something 
clamped by the server, but I haven't looked at it any further. (Hmm, maybe I 
will :D)

All good points though and all should be addressed. New features are being 
thrown in a little hurried and consistency/depth of control is not being 
maintained for these features in the UI and in LSL nearly as much as they 
should be, that is clear. The sculpy type being one of the most blatant of 
the missing UI features. I won't even go into the missing in-world editor :)
