I like this.

I don't think I can contribute that much.  I would like to though.  I have
been working in Java with my animation program
(http://www.cc.utah.edu/~jer29950/lani), and I can contribute a class for
LineType1.   Most useful is a rotation function that I would like to think
is optimized pretty good.  However, I am no computer scientist, so maybe it
isn't any good.  And it took me forever to write it (well, copy if from a
book, optimize it a bit more, and make it useful to me).  So I am not
exactly a super resource, but I would like to see what Jeremy is proposing
take off.

If the LDraw community can pool their efforts into providing at least an
object model for LDraw parts and functionality,

Here's my first contribution, a rough outline of a class structure.

*** LDRAW LINE TYPE CLASSES ***

abstract class LineType - ancestor class for all line-type objects

+ class LineType0 - comment line-type

+ class LineTypeCommand - command line-type

+ abstract class PhysicalLineType - ancestor class for all physically
mutable line-types

+ class LineType1 - subpart line-type

+ abstract class PrimitiveLineType - ancestor class for all
line-segment-containing line-types

   + class LineType2 - line segment line-type

   + class LineType3 - triangle line-type

   + class LineType4 - quad line-type

   + class LineType5 - optional line segment line-type

+ class LineTypeNull - blank line-type

*** LDRAW DAT MANAGEMENT CLASSES ***

class ColorManager

class LDrawFile - a container for LineType objects, represents a single datfile

+ class LDrawFileMulti - a container for LDrawFile objects, represents an
MPD file

abstract class ModelLoader - ancestor class for all model loaders, model cache

+ class DiskModelLoader - loads datfiles from local storage

+ class HTTPModelLoader - loads datfiles from web repository

class ModelParser - parses a datfile into its component LineType objects

*** LDRAW DAT RENDERER CLASSES ***

abstract class LDrawRenderer - ancestor class for renderers

+ class LDrawRendererOrthographic - renders LDraw.exe style

*** MATH CLASSES ***

abstract class MatrixNxN - ancestor class for transformation matrices

+ class Matrix4x4 - a 4x4 transformation matrix

abstract class VectorN - ancestor class for vectors

+ class Vector3 - a 3-element vector, useful for coordinates, euler angles,
RGB color values, etc.

+ class Vector4 - a 4-element vector, useful for 4x4 Matrix math,
quaternions, etc.

Cheers,
