Whatever lighting model is used, it ABSOLUTELY MUST apply to any element of any 
scene. It just can't apply to only one kind of object. Any POV-Ray scene can 
contain simple primitives, isosurfaces and meshes. Any lighting model that don't 
work with any one of those just can't be used at all.

You know you've been raytracing too long when your ophthalmologist examines you 
for complaints of eye strain and blurred vision and asks you why the words Pov, 
#declare, #include, sphere, translate, rotate, texture, and pigment are 
permanently burned into your retina.
