There's always one, right ; ).

Check.  If we use a callback requesting triangles (as was suggested), then
the app can supply/generate the right ones and the collider can stay
ignorant of the layout.  I think that's the best approach...

want a full set of triangles for CD. Since you will only even need a few at
a time to do CD wouldn't it be better to leave the memory reads of a buffer
out of it and just form the triangles from the vertex sample poinjts as
other have suggested. I like the idea of just forming a small 9*9 patch and
colliding against that.

Yep, that's the idea.
