Missing templates in LDCad

Not a missing template, but something I've always wondered…

What is (or is supposed to be) the difference between the Technic flex system hose and the rigid 3mm hose? I know that the flex system hose is the sheath for flex system cables from the late 90s, and the rigid hose presumably refers to the decorative tubes that are used in modern sets, but do these actually represent different real-world parts? The existing templates are slightly different, but identical at a glance. Should they just be merged into one template?

A similar question (that has come up before) is whether the pneumatic hose is different from the pre-pneumatic era rubber hoses used in some early Technic and Space sets.

Finally, I have made some improvements for my own use to the Technic ribbed hose that seems to better match the correct dimensions. (Basically the ribs are a bit fatter and more rounded.) If there is interest I'd be happy to share my files (though this might have to go in hand with updating the static parts in the library).
