Well, since scatterplot3d is not designed for the usage with persp()
*and* the plane3d() function returned by scatterplot3d() is only
designed for plane (z depends linear of x and y) planes, that's simply
not possible.

Another way is to plot a plane as a grid of lines or points into an
existing plot (either persp() or scatterplot3d()), but that would need a
hughe amount of code.
