What say we at loc.au develop the first lego Structural code, we call it
(Australian Lego Stadard) ALS2000. And Yes the first appendix can be Appendix L

Hmm See I'd have to disagree with the Lego being akin to steel. Steel is a
member that is best in tension and Concrete for compression. Now if you take a
couple of bricks (or plates)I'm sure you'd find more strength during
compressive loads than tensile loads.
However Technic Beams i can see being readily applied to AS4100.
