How do you do that? For some reason I thought that mesh2 objects did not
fully support materials, i.e. interior & media.

You can add interior media etc to any mesh, but the results might end up
garbage depending on the nature of the object. If a camera ray only passes
through one surface on the mesh, for example, then the media will appear
saturated. As long as the mesh is a fully closed volume, media should work
fine.

If an inside_vector is added to the mesh def, CSG is also possible (provided
the surface normals are also consistent).

This is very beautiful.  The ethereal effect is very attractive but 
before even that is a beautiful feeling of delicacy associated with the 
female form.  I agree with Thomas that that strong outline of the skull 
underneath the hair is distracting.  There is some thing of the beauty 
of a messotint to this.  I remember there is a Japanese artist whose 
messotints of female nudes I used to marvel at.

Here we go, take 3. I'm much happier with this. The pose looks much more
natural, and the longer hair makes her look more feminine. I've also
increased the brightness of the glow, so the shape of the skull is less
prominent.

Got my Daz/PoseRay/Blender/PoseRay/POV-Ray cycle well practiced now, too...
:)
