Meanwhile, how would you handle multiple color setups in say the
LDRAW.INI file?  I can imagine wanting to switch easily between the
ldconfig.ldr file for printing, and the alt version for web instructions
and on screen work.


Yeah, I could see a section in LDRAW.INI like:

[Configurations]
0=ldconfig.ldr
1=ldcfgalt.ldr
...

How about a ldcfgblk.ldr? For those of us who prefer to edit on a
black background instead of a paper white one?

I suppose the software could just swap edge=0 for edge=8 and vice
versa, but what about the non-black and white edges?

Actually, if ldcfgalt.ldr contains the ldlite colors it should work
quite nicely on a black background.  After all, ldraw used a black
background, and the ldlite colors were based on it.  And to be totally
honest, the default ldlite edge color for red is actually better
suited to a black background.  But don't tell anyone I said that...
