In this case the faked scattering can brighten (or completely wipe) some 
shadowy areas, which can be inacceptable for some scenes. Also the gas 
(media) does not take into account the environmental lighting (for the 
scattering effect), because it does not scatter (diffusely reflect) light.

Will POV-Ray support at least type 1 scattering for radiosity environment?

Thank you,
William
