It could, but that would mean recomputing the cloth at each render which
would be very slow. The difference between a cloth and an height field
or a bezier patch is that those are converted to a mesh on the fly and
then this mesh is used for the render, whereas the cloth is output to a
file as a mesh and then you need to restart pov to render this mesh.
