It would'nt be a viable option, as it would prevent you from using ANY existing 
scene, break all actual librarys and piss off a majority of users.

You make strange assumptions regarding typical POV-Ray users.

I don't use a modeler, but I've tried. I don't have any Java nor .NET 
experience, I've not even read any documentation about either. It easier for me 
to do things directly in SDL rather than use a modeler.
I do have some old programing experience using Basic (about 12 years old), 
Pascal (about 20 years old), C/C++ (about 10 years old) and Fortran (over 25 
years old).
