This is my problem with any system that doesn't create parametric geometry. You are limiting your precision and eliminating the ability to easily modify geometry later. STEP is the defacto format for this as any 3D CAD or CAM system can open it (Parasolid is also great, especially if the person you are sharing it with is using SolidWorks).

I absolutely despise STL as a format and think it doesn't have any place it should be used.I have a hard time taking OpenSCAD seriously due to this.
