The problem is less purism than the fact that the benefits of XML for
POV-Ray hand-coded scene development aren't exactly obvious while I wouldn't
rank the other (very theoretical) benefits as a top priority.
In any case, YafRay is a new free raytracer that uses XML for scene coding
(usually in combination with Blender). You may want to have a look and see
how it works.
