  Yes, the shape shouldn't have a discontinuity. But it depends on the formula.
Do you know what function povray uses to calculate the superellipsoid.

: (Let's me add, the surface of the superellipsoid is continuous,
: it's not an object with holes.)

  Think about the function: f(x) = x^2/x

  It should be a continuous straight diagonal line. However, it has a
discontinuity, and thus a hole at x=0.
  It just depends on the function.
