I suspect that in addition to having to rewrite the renderer, you would 
also have to redesign a lot of stuff...you wouldn't be able to use many 
of the old algorithms. Not a small job...even bigger than the planned 
C++ rewrite for POV 4.0. However, it would make some things easier and 
far more accurate...(dispersion, iridescence...)
Maybe 4.0 will be done so some areas could do calculations in spectral 
space and others in RGB, so it would be possible to switch to spectral 
space a bit at a time, and having a working renderer in the meantime.

Do you have any examples? Any links to information on using spectral 
color spaces?
