I think it would be wise to include a step 3.5:
We first need some means for saving animation data,
i.e. we need to design and agree upon a file format
for time-varying LDraw data.
Without that, we might end up with the situation that
is still crippling some aspects of the otherwise very
successful RenderMan graphics standard: the file format
for RenderMan input is static, and each frame is actually
a still image generated from other, non-standard and
often proprietary scene description formats.
I am not saying this is easy. I am saying, like you,
that this is hard. But it can be done, and I would
like to see it. The connection database that was
attempted (is that project still alive?) is a clear and
commendable step towards LDraw animation capabilities.
