One minor difficulty. Aztec doesn't do quads. It does triangles. Not
sure disadvantages of quads (can't ensure planarity, hassle of
maintaining more complicated internal mesh structure for both tri/quad,
...) are overcome by advantages.

If you have to have quads in the result, you can always get them - three
per triangle. Of course this would have to be some sort of export
thing, as you couldn't represent them in Aztec.
