That's interesting -- I never use phong, but I would think they are the same
thing, aren't they Chris? Maybe people who make the best scenes use phong
because they are long-time users of POV-ray and phong used to be specular
(or, was it, I'm not sure -- I don't have POV-ray at work).

This is a really good question. If anybody will know the answer, it will
definitely be Chris; he's got the internals down and then some :-)
