I wouldn't think it'd make a spherical mapping since in the degenerate
case when the transformed object is the same as the untransformed object
the texturing become the normal povray 3D textures.
As of the origin I was inspired of the uV mapping for bezier patches
(hmm... can any object be expressed as a set of bezier
patches/triangles...)
but I wouldn't be surprised if there already are renderes using this
technique.
