Fair point, but when I picture subdivision in action I picture a modeller
actually in control and view of a mesh which then gets 'subdivided', POV-Ray
could subdivide therefore, but in general the subdivision will be of
imported mesh's won't it anyway?  So yes it could be used, just not as
ideally as people would like.
