No, I don't think so...!  Still, there's no time like the present - my best
defence here, as elsewhere, is probably laziness.  That, and the fact that
the scene was created for a purpose (to illustrate certain features of the
Spline Macro File in an attractive way) which I think it serves.

For the most accurate results, I could have defined a spline that followed
the shape of the weft, weaving around each spine of the basket's profile,
adding semi-random variations for thickness and stiffness, etc.  Instead, as
I descried in povray.advanced-users, the entire basket is constructed  using
just four splines, and the weft using a single circular spline - and I can
still say I'm happy with the result!
