I should probably find then for what is LDraw library aimed at. If it's
something like as perfect as possible renders or some quick mockup
prototyping.

Wouldn't it be possible to be the parts as accurate as possible and then
'primitivize' them a bit for the draft renders or owners of legacy hardware?
I simply don't think that something like LGEO is a good idea, but IMO it
was driven by the 'unneccessary' simpleness of the .DAT parts.
So basically the question stands: I somebody submits .DAT file with,
say, 3000 lines, without any special ldraw features, which provides
_perfect_ render - would it be accepted (on better-than-nothing policy)
or denied (on purity-or-nothing polity)?
