No, I thougth it would be nice for new users if Pov issued a warning 
when a scene specifies a media for the interior of a non hollow object.

something like :
box{
   -1, 1
   material{
     texture{pigment{color rgbf 1}}
     interior{ media{Media}}
   }
   // would be much better with hollow somewhere in box
}

could perhaps issue a warning, even if it is legal and will behave as 
expected (for an experienced user).

I knew the "camera in non hollow object" warning and it is that one thes 
made me wonder about a "media in non hollow object" warning. I was 
pretty sure there isn't one in Pov 3.1, that's why I posted here and not 
in p.b-t.

I know it is a feature request (and that it is a bit late for that), but 
I thought it is a simple one and one that could alleviate the 
support/complaints mail charge for the team.


Povingly,
