Can you model the mesh in one spline type, and then convert it to another when you need another property (C2 continuity, etc.) via change of bases? Does this solve the "no free lunch" problem? The cost of conversion doesn't seem prohibitively expensive.

The slides make it seem like once you pick one, you're stuck with it forever.
