Well....consider what the extension would require -- you would specify 
the color at the corners of the screen. How is that different from 
simply specifying colors for the 4 vertices of a rectangle?

Oh....and just because I've been there, if you try to do this with a 
quad and you specify different vertex colors for all four verts, 
different drivers can give you different results because they may 
triangulate the quad differently.
