and that's great!  Since SVG is a text format, exporting to a handful of other
formats is trivial.  alphaQuad says the povray export isn't perfect, but his
rendering shows the same line artifacts as the "defective" inkscape export.

Besides, inkscape is far, far more than simply an SVG writer.  It's got one of
the best, smoothiest curve drawing controls I've ever witnessed and is fully
multiplatform and open-source.  The source is available for the brave souls who
want it ported to old or alien platforms...

that realtime preview with so few tesselated polygons hardly shows how the real
povray bezier_spline lathe will end up.  Probably, with line artifacts...
