I am not very familiar with the specifics of how UV-mapping works, but 
it shouldn't pose much of a problem. Meshes do work with the interior 
texture feature, and the syntax is the same as for every other object. 
However, you can't specify the interior texture for individual triangles.

Not in the next version, which won't have many new rendering features. 
Perhaps in later versions, and likely in some unofficial versions.

Already exists in a pattern patch, and can be done using one of my 
(currently unreleased) function patches. Probably won't make it into the 
official version, though features that allow you to implement an AOI 
pattern probably will eventually.

Exists in an older version of MegaPOV, couldn't be updated in time for 
the new version. You can do similar effects without the patch by using 
multiple transparent copies of an object.

This is a very complex feature, requiring much work before work on the 
implementation even starts. There are many possible ways to do it, and 
finding a good one will take some research and experimentation.

POV doesn't *need* ambient occlusion. It's a cheap hack replacement for 
radiosity, which POV already does quite well. This will most likely 
never be implemented.
