Probably not an expert, but everything I've used on the Mac can read/write all
the POV-Ray output filetypes (apart from HDR). I'd say your arguments hold for
the Mac platform as well as Win/Unix.

(oh, and I vote PNG too; not sure about Win7 but XP certainly had no clue what
to do with TGAs, and I object to BMP on moral and aesthetic grounds ;) JPEG is
out of the question for your stated reasons. 2 of my English pence :))
