I don't think it is. I always thought the rules against post-processing 
were to avoid "hand editing"...not stuff like gamma adjustment or focal 
blur.

This would be impossible (or just unnecessarily difficult) for most 
people to make any use of, and a real pain for animation or for 
post_process's controlled by the POV scene. I don't know of any standard 
formats for this kind of data or software for dealing with it, users 
would have to write their own or rely on others...and many of them would 
be far more difficult to write independant of POV.
