Well, many of the people contributing to it aren't experts or even very 
experienced...and they may have taken the shortcut to get it up and 
running, and just forgotten to fix it later.

Another example: the 256-entry limit in blend maps. Actually, that looks 
like it would be quite simple to fix...I'll put it on my list of stuff 
to do. It would save memory too, since you wouldn't have to allocate 256 
entries for every blend map.

Another thing: for many objects, you have to specify the number of 
spline points before the points themselves. It would be nice if POV 
counted them itself...
