Well, it'd certainly be nice to be able to use SVGs as image_maps - no
interpolation required! I know you can almost do this already with object
patterns but it's a bit fiddly. Would it also cut down on memory usage if
you had many simple image_maps?

Lathe and prism splines can already be exported to POV by Inkscape but I
guess it would be slightly easier if the SVG file could be read directly...
