I was thinking of friction as a simple on/off property: connections with
friction only move during construction, whereas connections without are free
to move under gravity or inertia or other forces during animation of the
final model. Is this too simplistic?

Welcome in my brain, Barney: I was writing about gravity and inertia in this
very hour. The approach you describe may be usable, but as for myself, I'm
talking in the LMPL proposal about a tensile strength instead. I see some
difference. Tensile strength may allow or disallow parts to disconnect (in a
crash, for example), but friction can take influence on the working of a
connection. The higher the friction, the greater the force needed to make it
moving. Therefore, I didn't make a link between friction and gravity or inertia.

However, the whole question belongs to the LMPL side of the project, not to
LCD. In a mere LCD system with no LMPL implementation, there is nothing to
do with friction, since we can't move connections. Moving them belongs to
the LMPL side.
