Sweet! I wish I knew about the numbers thing before I put my entry in. I
think I might also be able to lose [0rgb 0] as well to get:

#declare f=function{pigment{mandel 999interior
1,1translate-.17color_map{[1rgb 1]}scale
2}}light_source{y*.2rgb1}height_field{function
999,999{f(x,y,z).gray*.1}pigment{rgb1}translate-.5}camera{rotate
x*45translate-.7*z}

I don't have pov at work, though; does the above compile?
