If you render your models in POV, you directly interface with it. Unless you
use L3PAO's render when finished converting option... When I render a MOC in
POV-Ray, I say that, because that's what I'm doing. You can't achieve the same
level of quality in MLCAD alone.
You also interface with L3P and L3PAO when you're converting, possibly LGEO if
you have that option turned on.

Yep, you do. Each and every part you place on the screen is an LDraw part.
LDraw isn't just the program ldraw.exe or the package deal ldraw027.exe, its a
system of tools.
I gotta side with Ahui and his assertion. Anthony, check out
http://www.ldraw.org/aboutus/ldrawname when you have the chance. It explains
why we're making these assertions.

You just contradicted yourself above. You said you don't LDraw your dragons,
you CAD them, so because the program you use is called MLCAD, you MLCAD them.
LDraw is the CAD *system*, MLCAD is the LDraw *interface*
