I don't know how heretic it is, but I'd be in favor of putting "binaries" at
the end (it's already the case for international.binaries) for all the
groups that have it on second level, and dropping "text" entirely.

povray.images.binaries
povray.animations
povray.animations.binaries
povray.scene-files
povray.scene-files.binaries
povray.tools
povray.tools.binaries (instead of binaries.utilities)

When I think of it, I suspect that the "binaries" term is not exactly clear
for users without a tech background. Wouldn't be "files" (binaries or not in
fact) preferable now (Web forums like the Yahoo groups use "files" for file
storage groups)? Likewise, the "text" term could be replaced by "discussion"
if necessary.
