You know, in an earlier version of POV-Ray (maybe 3.0?) the problem existed
for reflections too. That was fixed, but for some reason it wasn't fixed for
the highlights.

And for a simple demonstration, try to look a this sunrise-like image:

light_source {<0,-10,100>, color 1}
plane {
   y, -1
   pigment {color <0.5,0.5,1.0>}
   normal {bumps 1}
   finish {phong 1}
}

The highlights are visible even though the light_source is *below* the
horizon! I certanly don't call that a small problem.
