Yes, this a subtle difference that needed to be pointed out; thanks for posting
it.

I imagine that the discrepancies found in the various POV-Ray files and defaults
are due to so many different code contributors during its past
development--some contributors being more careful than others, perhaps; or
writing the code in POV 'shorthand' rather than the basic syntax. Sometimes,
it's difficult to tell just *what* the modern, accepted form of writing POV
definitions is, since there seem to be so many different (and possibly
deprecated) ways of doing it, having to do with backwards compatibility.
