For reasons that I don't understand, the apparent transparency of things in the
final POV output is greatly influenced by the background color. Set the
background color to black, and things look substantially more transparent than

LDView doesn't use the T parameter of colors at all for transparent colors,
which means that 0 gets used. I'm using 0.85 for F, but the difference between
0.85 and 0.9 is visually very minor.
On a side note, ior is not a valid setting for finish according to the
documentation. It's now supposed to be in interior instead.
