I think this is a good one:
MPD parts would be a great way to store “default” textures for texture mapping
(hex encode them). That would encapsulate the design with the part, overcoming
one of the big “pain points” of adopting textures. Textures could still be
overridden in supporting software through use of an external “hi-res” directory
in the LDRAW search path.
I CAN think of a few issues (but why announce THOSE, right? :)), but it’s
another aspect that might make the idea an acceptable one.
