I'm not too experienced with LEGO software, but I can't say I've had the
impression that LEGO lives by those rules so far. Ok, so my hands on
experience is limited to the Cybermaster unit, which needs specific
operating system¹ versions to function, and does not produce any
open-architecture text-based file formats.
But I can see that you are more experienced with LEGO software, so there
may be a reason to take a little more optimistic view on this.
Has there been any official acknowledgement of the existence of LDraw
from TLC? Like we have seen for LUGNET, Brickshelf, et al lately?

My sense is that they not only want to be able to import LDraw .DAT files (...) (24 years ago, 6-Dec-00, to lugnet.lego.direct)
