I this is a very good ideia, which I have also been researching due to LSim.
Basically it's a good ideia for two main reasons:
1 - it allows for an easyer/faster placement of axel/axis connected parts, so
it's good for editing and model authoring.
2 - it is one of the basic elements to allow a mechanical simulator to respect
the connections while it is simulating movement (but some more are
required), so it's good for animation.
Also, we probably don't need to keep/save the connections on the model file,
since if the editor supports this, all the axels/axis will be correctly
alligned, which allows us to easilly detect them. But for animation, I' thinking
more on the line of an animation configuration file, which will use submodels
(*.dat files) with their local origin set so that it can be used as submodel
axis (like in a robot arm). The only problem with this approach, is that it
would only allow for one axis per submodel, which is not acceptable, so that's
way the animation configuration file is on the drawing board.
See ya
P.S.
Keep up the good ideias, together we will make a better lego world.
