You forgot these:
- True displacement mapping for all objects, using curved rays
- Relativistic effects, with adjustable light speed
- Differential ray tracing
- Custom BDRF functions
- 5x faster rendering and parsing

This has already been implemented in another raytracer so it's not
that impossible.

So have some of the other things, but they would all require large
changes in the architecture and source code. Adding it to POV would
probably be impossible...it would probably be easier to write a new
renderer that supports those things.

there is a solution for this right? getting a computer that is 5X
faster :)

But that costs more than a POV upgrade. :-)

There is a link to a POV patch (over v2.2) that does this in
http://povray.org/links/3D_Programs/POV-Ray_Unofficial_Patches_and_Front_End_Programs/POV-Ray_Patches_v2_2/

Ooooh... sounds like fun. :-) (Yes, I've seen the animations from the
renderer that already does this.)

Actually, this shouldn't be too far off as a MegaPov feature. (of course,
post-3.5)

My favorite by far. Anybody want to volunteer to write this patch?

I already know why it won't be implemented, you notice there was an evil

Free and easy! Just change some jumpers on the motherboard... :)

BTW, this FAQ also talks about non-uniform transformations, saying they are only
possible in mesh modellers by moving the vertexes. Indded they are quite
possible in MegaPOV isosurfaces.
