In my opinion this is almost irrelevant. A mesh parses/renders much faster 
and efficiently than the same object constructed in CSG, and in both you can 
use exactly the same (POV-Ray) textures, uv-mapped or not. Other things like 
height_fields or isosurfaces are better done in POV-Ray. My point is that 
the final scene should be rendered (including the radiosity, the media, the 
aa, the photons, etc) in POV-Ray, as we are talking about a HOF for POV-Ray.
