 Sprites ARE polygon models. they only contain some frame data that
 changes the model used according to the frame.

 ID uses the term sprite in a confusing way. That's all there is.
 Using 2D flat sprites would not make their job easier. it would make
 it harder, maybe. that's due to the nature of the Quake engine, and 
 it's use of BSP. 

 why convey rumours? If you don't know what Quake is like, just shut up.
 wait for the official ID specs.
