I personally would appreciate a brand new SDL syntax, especially if it
similar to Java.
The attempt Bruno made using Classes to create objects sounds very
interesting to me, especially as it would be easy to create specialized
Classes by sub-classing as you can do with Java.
Example: The class "Glass" defines the standard glass parameters like ior,
reflectiveness, color, transparency and so on. The sub-class "Crystal" may
overwrite the parameters necessary to create a crystal-like texture.

IMHO the most people using POV-ray by writing the SDL by hand (as opposite
to using a graphical modeler) have at least some programming experience,
either Java or .NET.
