I believe the policy  "graphics are up to the user" makes very good 
sense as ODE is a dynamics engine first and foremost and this is where 
the development effort should be concentrated.  It means people can 
plug ODE into whatever graphics package they are using without hassle.  
  It's great having good publicly available graphics API's for ODE such 
as yours and others (e.g. Odejava).  There are so many ways to do the 
graphics it seems silly to mandate one particular API over another.

I like your web page - nice artwork for the Picasso logo :)

Cheers,

Will.
