the miter will be a lot weaker. furthermore, these will have to be
tempered. chipping the edge of a tempered sheet of glass will produce a
couple of shopping bags of glass gravel. a miter will make this more
likely to occur.


Uhhhh...... They bevel them or mitre them and _then_ temper.

duh. where did i specify the sequence of operations?

however, the thin mitered edge will make a chip much more likely, causing
the glass to explosively deconstruct more likely.
