There was a discussion about strange POV splines behaviour, somehow I've
forced it to work, but the control and implementation are still mystery

Another form of the link which might be easier to use:

Thanks, I will take it into account, but how you got it ?
I was using: RightClick -> "Copy Message Location" in Thunderbird.

Your understanding is correct. Here's an example with:
a) simpler coordinates
b) an array for tracking the indices.
It ain't pretty, but it works.
The points 0, 3, 6, and 9 are points on the curve.
Point 0 has control points 11 and 1
Point 3 has control points 2 and 4
Point 6 has control points 5 and 7
Point 9 has control points 8 and 10

In fact, it's simple !
Each segment is defined by four points.
First segment :
0 : Point on curve
1 : Control point attached to point (0)
2 : Control point attached to the next point
3 : Next point
Second segment :
4 : Point on curve equal to (3) from previous segment
5 : Control point attached to point (4)
6 : Control point attached to the next point
7 : Next point
... and so on.
In the attached image, the points are numbered and named in accordance
with POV's built-in spline editor : "S. Cs. Ce. E.".
I haven't found what these names correspond to.
The complete curve is therefore the succession of segments placed
end to end.
In the image, each element of each segment has the same color :
Segment 1 - Point 0,1,2,3 - Color Green
Segment 2 - Point 4,5,6,7 - Color Magenta
Segment 3 - Point 8,9,10,11 - Color Blue
Disturbingly, the two pendulums of the same point are identified by two
distinct segments. Once you've got the hang of it, it's no longer a problem.

"S. Cs. Ce. E.".
I haven't found what these names correspond to.
Start
Control (point) Start
Control (point) End
End
?
Or something like that.
I'm glad you got it all worked out.
Hopefully you have an interesting project to apply it to.

POV has a built-in spline editor? When did this happen? Is it a
Windows thing?

No, it's a Mac OSX feature.
