A few comments on camera behavior:

I haven't used angle much with the orthographic camera, mainly because it
doesn't make sense to me. (iow, what can "angle" mean when all the rays in
question are parallel?) I did notice, however, that POV will change amount
of scene that is in view when the "angle" is changed. Perhaps there should
be a different keyword (such as "zoom") to work with the orthographic
camera.

As for multiple camera blocks, there are other ways to handle them besides
disallowing them. When I first tried to use two camera blocks, I expected
to render two images, one with the first camera, and then start a second
render with the other camera. Perhaps, alternatively, a second camera
block could simply replace the first camera, wiping out the previous
camera settings.

Are these the kind of suggestions you're looking for, or are the changes too
drastic?

I'd like to know if I should carry on or if I'm on a wrong track.
