like on a skydome?

Luxrender doesn't need any geometry to create a sky.  It has a physical sky, or you can use an HDR image as an environment map, which would also cast light.  Skydomes are mostly a workaround for the lack of such features in non-physical render engines.

pp12 can render an hdri image? 
could render an hdri image and then use that image as a sky

would be much cleaner, imagines.
