doc of 3.5b 11 win
In 6.5.4.1 and 6.5.5 there is a sentence: "This container can either be a
sphere or a box, both of which use the standard POV-Ray syntax." It's not
truth. You can't use Object_ID in box{} or spfere{} and you can't use obect
modifiers. This is obvious for advenced users but can be hard to understand
for beginers. Perhaps something better could be: "This container can either be
a sphere or a box, both of which use the basic POV-Ray syntax: coordinates."

This is overkill. I really not see a point in tweaking the docs until a
lawyer would accept them. The current text is really clear enough and given
the examples it is easy to figure out if someone should make the extremely
unlikely mistake you want to change the docs for.

The reason why I reported this was becouse I remember questions about it in
povray.unofficial.patches. For example look at:

Well, this weakens your point even more: The user is asking _why_ there is
the limitation. So he obviously had no problem understanding the docs that it
exists.
And as for the user's question, the answer to that does not belong in the docs
because the docs are not the right place to justify design decision.
