Hello Jon,

Since there is a difference in how Field Rendering is handled in Pov-Ray
and in other 3-D packages, then perhaps this difference should be
documented?

You seem to posess a lot more knowledge than me about these things. Do you
think that you could look at "5.2.1.5 Field Rendering" in the docs and see
if you can think of a more detailed description of this feature?
(Of cource, then it is up to the POV-team to decide if a change in the
docs is needed here).
