Three features that I could find incredibly useful are:
  1. The ability to get the length of a sound.
  2. The ability to get the length of an animation.
  3. The ability to get the dimentions of a texture.

I think its about time llRequestInventoryData got a revision. The only thing it does currently is get the current-sim-relative position of a landmark. Although that is definately useful, its been there for a YEAR already, isnt it time to start implementing other uses for it?

The three things above are what I think llRequestInventoryData should return if passed the name of a sound, animation and texture, respectively.

So, what does everyone else think? :D
