I think it could be done in such a way as to not be limited to POV.

As simple script-editor-tool that allows you to add a script as an object in
your Moray scene.  The script object could have parameters that tell Moray
where to insert the script within the renderer output.  If the plug-in allowed
for scripts to be written without care for specific syntax, why couldn't that
scripting information be included in the output, regardless of renderer.  And
if the plug-in could allow scripts the be written WITH POV syntax in mind, then
perhaps a plug-in could be written for other renderers as well, such as BMRT.

I don't see how such a plug-in would limit the use of Moray.  If anything, a
generic scripting tool would allow Moray to be that much more useful, and
renderer-specific scripting tools would do that much more again to make Moray
one of the most, if not the most, useful tools in our raytrace toolbox.
