Something that I think has not been mentioned in this discussion so far 
(unless I accidentally skipped it):
One of the interesting things of POV is that it is a great environment 
to learn maths. Often you want to position two objects in such a way 
that they touch each other or such that the combined surface is 
continuous or... You can do this by trial and error, but soon you'll end 
up motivated to learn how to solve a particular second order equation or 
some equation involving sin() or tan().
Whatever direction a new SDL is going to take, it would be great if the 
simplest subset could (still) be used in a high school math class. The 
only thing we then need is someone to write something like 'Mindstorms 
for high school students'.
