  The coincident surface problem happens only when povray has to calculate
which one of two points is closer than the other.
  Povray does not do this kind of test with bounding object and the object
it's bounding, so there can't be coincident surface problems there.

: WARNING - I'm usually wrong.

  I could say something funny here, but can't figure out anything smart :)
