The thing that bugs me about "hollow," besides its ambiguity, is that I
almost always want it. My only experience with hollow is this: I make a
media filled object and render it, and there's no media. "Oops, I forgot to
say 'hollow'." I add the keyword and the image renders the way I intended.
It seems to be much more frequent that you want an object to be hollow than
that you don't.

So, I'd suggest removing it and adding a "no_media" keyword that specifies
when an object *shouldn't* allow media inside it. Even better:
"no_external_media" so that you can disallow external media while still
having internal media that is different. (For instance, a ball of red glass
in a room that has blue fog.)
