You're not nuts. Many materials do indeed have a translucency, light 
falls just under the surface and scatters. This is why often rendered 
images don't look quite right for some materials (especially ceramics, 
some plastics, skin and other natural materials) I think this will bring 
images even closer to realism than before, and POV-Ray has produced some 
incredible images in its time.
