The tangent version would not be susceptible to triangle seams. The 
mi_bump_basis tries to compute bump vectors (tangent/binormals) based on 
individual triangles, irrespective of neighbours (since mental ray doesn't 
support topological data). Instead, the tangent op averages tangents over 
edges that neighbour a vertex. This gives a much better behaved tangents.

CAV is a color-at-vertices cluster property.
