That looks good, although it seems to have mostly theoretical value :-)

Maybe good for printing out, hanging on the wall and scaring visitors...

It MIGHT be useful sometimes. For example, I don't think it's very clear
to some users how do you make a XOR operation in povray's CSG.

  Of course I made the page so general that it certainly looks very
theoretical.

Quite right, i just thought a moment about it and came to the "2 differences"
solution, which seems to be the most intuitive version (using inverse
constructions seems not that easy to me)

I don't think it's very clear to some users what XOR is :)

When building a scene, do you think in terms like XOR? I just start with 
an object and tink, add something here, remove something there etc... In 
that process "XOR-csg" is being used without noticing it.

Same here. I don't have "named operations" that I perform. I just
do what's needed to get the desired response.

  That's exactly why I included the images in the page: To illustrate the
effect it causes :)

Yes, very useful!
