TLC actually did make a drafting type paper back in the 1960's. The Architectural Sets (#750, #751, #752) each came with several sheets of this paper, which looks more like graph paper. Each box within the grid was the size of a 1x1 brick. The (...) (25 years ago, 16-Mar-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build, lugnet.edu)

Quite possibly I don't have a clue what I'm doing. The mime type you listed and that are listed in the FAQ have the extension: .dat and an application type: application/x-ldlite application/x-ldraw etc. If it doesn't matter, why specify then?
