That's the approach most modellers use, whether it's useful much depends
on how complete such a file format is.  Most file formats do not support
most of the Povray scene language features like loops, macros, math
formulas, etc.  

This is a major problem IMO, if i'm designing a scene i want to be able to
enter the trigonometric formulas for example and also don't want the
program to replace them with the calculated value that does no more mean
anything to me.
