Well, the STL format is very limited and not designed to be extensible.
I can't imagine you can do more with it than you can do now: store
tesselated surface data.

Two quite different things, IMHO. Tooling is a downstream process: you
extract the data needed for your process to do it; you have to store
the original model to avoid loosing information.
For engineering, you modify data and add information to it. This is the
opposite direction.
