  Except that you'd have to tesselate every single object in your scene
into triangles and transform every single procedural texture into an image
mapping.  That would add a huuuge amount of code into POV-Ray.  And would
use sooo much time at run-time that the raytracing might just as well be
faster than the transformation itself.  Well, I suppose.
