Do I detect a common theme here? We've got an "I fail to see what's
wrong" and Larry's "I'm not sure I see how it would help". I have to
say, there appears to be a certain metaphorical lack of vision on the
part of the naysayers. Meanwhile on the other side, you've got RSI
and the visually impaired. Perhaps Larry was right when he mentioned
the ADA. This is just the sort of thing that gets them all excited.
Can't we just acknowledge this is a part of lugnet that could be
improved and look for a solution?

PS. Kevin, I'm curious if you've tried using ldglite for ldraw CAD.
It's not nearly as powerful as mlcad, but the editing mode is all
keyboard. It'd be nice to get some feedback from someone besides
myself with RSI problems.
