Yes, it's pretty much still the case.  I would really prefer to not have
any POV code in the parts library at all.  But if there must be some, I
think it should stay in the primitive files.

I am specifically referring to cases where primitive substitution causes gaps
around curved surfaces.  The ldraw code looks fine in the usual tools (ldraw,
MLCAD, L3Lab), and the extra code makes the parts render without gaps in
POV-Ray.

I think a better solution is to work on POV versions of part files.
Generally, writing POV code is easier than LDraw code.  So if you can
make an LDraw version of a file, you can make a POV version.
