No. They do not. None intersect.

I like the SVG idea. That's the sort of thing I was thinking about. The SVG
renderer can handle the details! I only want to give it my scene definition.
I'll look up the SVG docs now; before I've only coded 2D stuff in SVG.

True. I should do that. I have access to the raw data. Which is nothing but
tuples of (x,y,z, radius, color)

Sorry, its probably much easier if I post the raw pov file here. But its
intermediate output. So I need to play a bit to clean it up and isolate it.
