Step looks obscenely complicated, and I'm not really sure what subset we
can support.

Can someone send me a handful of __SIMPLE__ geometric models in a STEP
format (readable text?), so I can get a feel for what I'd be letting
myself in for?

I'm wondering if STEP to VRML might be nicer, as VRML should be a lot
easier to parse.
