  Actually tesselating an isosurface is not difficult (eg. using the
triangle marching algorithm).
  Tesselating CSG is a bit more difficult, but not impossible.
  However, POV-Ray can also handle infinite non-flat surfaces (such as
infinite paraboloids and hyperboloids) which can't be tesselated (you
simply can't create an infinite amount of triangles).
