Ah, I found it.  It is only in
<http://www.povray.org/working-docs/id000193.html#6_7_11_16>.

Note to docs coordinator:  Could this be placed elsewhere?  The last place I
looked for it was in the pattern section.  I would rather put it in the user
defined function doc section, but even there isn't really the right place
for it :-(  Maybe a totally new section describing the image formats and
where they can be used in a nice and general way would be best.  This would
be a consolidated version of the "6.7.1.5 Image Maps", "6.7.2.3 Bump Maps",
etc docs which right now all describe the image specification syntax over
and over again.  If they would all point to a common section it would
probably be much easier and less of a hassle to update the docs as well...
