Last I checked the idealists weren't even willing to commit to a virtual 2D rectangular grid of pixels of arbitrary width and height. I think we'll be waiting a while (or more likely using a soft fork of the spec).

Ah, but now instead of one old difficult-to-maintain way of allowing an application to draw on a rectangle on the screen, we have five (and counting!) new and somewhat incompatible ways to do it. Progress.
Don't worry, I will personally see to solving this problem once and for all. https://xkcd.com/927/
I'm sure we'll shift to hex-grid displays any day now. After all, hexagons are bestagons.
