So much ?  In general, I would like to see POV-Ray being able to output
various information in the form of deep-grayscale images aside the
main rendering : alpha, normals, depth...  It would allow easy
postprocessing with existing tools (even for stills).  BTW, most
commercial renderers do that.

I don't think so.  It might be simply that they are made to get
video as input, and not series of still frames.  Again, commercial
renderers outputs animations as animations, not as series of stills.
