I've always wondered how well K'nex would work in LDraw.

Good thought.  It probably wound work quite well, just like Lego.

It would probably work well in the renderers, but you would need to
create a new editor (LEdit type program) optimized for K'Nex pieces
instead of LEGO pieces... You would probably have to use a smaller scale,
too, because K'nex constructions are rather large.  K'nex beams are also
rather flexible, so that might create some problems when modeling
(although the same problem now exists with the flexible technic
axles....)
