That sounds reasonable. We've done this before, with light.dat. Do the files
have comments identifying what they are used for? If they're going into the
official library, it'd nice to try and make them useable by any program doing
the same thing.

Hmm. 5306 is the number for the electric 2x2 brick. Could LS10.dat be renamed
to 5306s01.dat? Could you create a 5306c01.dat with a complete wire (probably
short) and both ends?

These should be worked up into a complete pneumatic hose part, along the lines
of 75.dat (flex-system hose) and 78.dat (ribbed hose).

Again, this should be worked up into a complete fibre optic cable part--or
parts.

Right.

It sounds like these files should go in /parts. This is in line with helper
files like light.dat, and multi-segment, flexible parts like 75.dat.

I'd say generate some complete-part files, possibly with extra 'segment parts',
get some part numbers, give them reasonable title-names, and submit them.

If you send an email parts@ldraw.org, signifying your agreement with the
Contributor's Agreement, we can give your ldraw.org userid rights to the Parts
Tracker. (Assuming you haven't done this already -- I don't keep a mental list
of authors any more).

I think we all want that. :)
