Based on my jittered circular renders, just having the points in each 
ring evenly spaced would be quite sufficient.

But taking a closer look at how the points are spaced, I believe I know 
how they computed those positions.  (I'd verify my guess by looking at 
the code, but if I still had the mental stamina to do that, I'd be 
*writing* POV-Ray.)  A wild guess at why they chose to do it that way 
would be to facilitate adaptive sampling.
