Default Write our own client?

Has anyone thought on the possibility of writing our own client for use with the emu, since every time there is a patch day it breaks? My gut reaction is that it would be safer to not allow the client to read any VI content at all, but rather create our own from scratch. I've been doing some looking at Java3D, and it looks like it would do most of the work, such as collision avoidance. I realize that we would have to create everything (zones, character models, etc.) but I think it's doable. If anyone is serious about it I can finish my zone creation tool but we would have to agree on a file format (I suggest something human-readable).

P.S. Java3D comes in either OpenGL or DirectX flavors and even handles sound
