You know, I thought of this after I posted. A while ago, someone posted a
Mindstorms "Rocker Boogie Rambler". (1)(2) It used MOC LDraw pieces to
represent rubber bands, and those parts were inlined into the model. I
wouldn't have any moral problems viewing a model with non-TLG pieces if they
were inlined; the only technical concern I can think of is the potential
size of the message.
