But the important thing is probably that the renderer must be able to
save existing data structures (parts and primitives) so that it can
quickly display an updated version of the DAT file without reloading
them.

I would like to have even more external control.  I would like to be
able give the renderer commands like "\(add\|remove\) these parts and
rerender only what is necessary".  Would something like that take much
effort to implement?

I would like to use a feature like that with Emacs, so that I can see
the changes done in "real time" in the renderer.  (Communicating over
X may be the right thing, but I'm not really familiar with this.)
