Is it restricted in applicability to just LDraw parts? (that is, if there
were a competing parts format, could the idea be applicable? Could the
database (perhaps with coordinate transformation) itself?
If it's not restricted (and I think it's not) then I don't see using LDraw
in the name. It DOES get around using LEGO(r), but that isn't necessarily
bad, is it?
What does LDraw stand for, after all?
