Sure, which is why there are loads of triangle-only raytracers out there 
with all sorts of fancy options and rendering techniques.  This is not what 
POV is though.

Yes, I think most of us here prefer it being the only niche raytracer with 
support for such a good SDL (scripting, primitives, texturing etc).  I think 
everyone would be sad if POV was overrun by new developers who just wanted 
mesh tracing speed, POV and SDL would get lost in the sea of 
mesh-tracing-clones out there.
