Until you prove me wrong (preferably with an image/scene) I remain
sceptical. AFAIK, POV's transmit and filter are fundamentally different from
translucency. They do not diffuse (scatter) incoming light. Ligh fading
would simply make the object darker (i.e. allow less ligh to pass through).

Correct rendering of translucency is already possible (more realistically
than with double_illuminate) - with the use of media. I've tested this quite
extensively and the results are good. Perhaps I'll post an example to p.b.i
in the near future.
