 I think this is a bad idea. First, there is no guarantee that the front faces are actually facing out. It is entirely possible that all the "front" faces point inside, so you would not see anything when you culled it. Second, this would never work for a non-closed surface, which is very common. To see for yourself, make a sphere source and clip it. Then turn on back face culling and rotate around. Oops. You can't see the inner surface of the sphere like you should.

 I agree with Ken. This isn't actually what I want. I will think it over. Closing bug.
