I don't see why it would be a problem to keep
the povray variant/improvements in separate (similar named) files (eg lgeo). So
tools can merge the data when needed.

You don't??? Are you serious? I can instantly think of four or five good reasons
why I (and obviously Dave!, too) prefer inline POV code before separate files
like LGEO. Please try again before I reveal the correct answers.


I'm sorry I really don't, the 'if then' construction is pretty much the same
only thing is the two versions are in the same file.

I'm not conversant with LGEO or the like; what would the filename format be for
these alternate parts?  That is, if a 2x4 brick is 3001.dat, what's the
equivalent name of the LGEO version?  I ask because I like sticking with the DAT
suffix, and using the official part names (3001) simply makes the most sense.

Overall this is less of an issue for me, because I'm pretty sure that my field
of LDraw interest doesn't overlap too much with the LSC's plans.

So perhaps you are hinting on maintainability or mixed single files (because
even subfiles would work ok using a mirror tree, aslong they use the same scale
and orientation (or are supplied with a transformation key).

Not sure I understand this part.  Are you suggesting that the inlined POV-Ray
code might be housed in a subfile?  I could see that working, actually, though
I'm not the person to generate the protocols to parse it.
