I'm happy to see finally someone from the pov-team here.
It seems that asking what features could be in POV4.0 or even
only the direction in wich POV goes toward is not a question
that can get an answer...

    You where the maker of polyray, which had a Z-Buffer renderer,
so I think you have a good knowledge of this item. In polyray
this code exist for quite a number of primitives, because if I
remember well polyray had many primitives.

    I do not see Povray as only a back-end renderer, as I think
in the PC or Mac version much people use the editor and periodicly
during the scene editing do test renders.
