ALL primitives, exept for mesh, in POV-Ray are NEVER represented as a 
mesh. They are purely mathematicaly based objects.

A sphere, for example, is a surface defined as: Sqrt(x^2 + y^2 + z^2) = 
radius.
A plane is truely INFINITE and defined by it's normal and distance it 
passes from the origin in the direction of it's normal. How can you 
represent such a surface in any format that only rely on triangles?
