Why is this so bad? It takes up a bit more text, but using the method I've
described in povray.advanced-users it's very easy to control.

I haven't tried emission method 2. Can it do thick black media and other
dark colors?
I assume not, since it's emission after all? Anyway, the method I've
described can be used easily to make both light and dark colors. There's the
usual rgb vector *plus* a value that controls opacity.

A bit more inconvenient, but not really harder... :)
