why is part 80547.dat called

Because the plain version, part 2358.dat, is called

"Baseplate 32 x 32 Road Straight"

So the extra "with Road Pattern" kinda makes sense. :)

and not

"Baseplate 32 x 32 Road 7 Stud Straight" ?

That wouldn't work - if we're going to change the name, let's follow the
current rules.  The name should end with "with ... Pattern", and it
should match the name of the base part.

There are a good number of roadplates - straight, curve, crossroad, and
tee for 7-, 8- and 9-wide borders.  If we're going to change the name of
one file, we should use a system to fix them all.  Probably the 8-stud
plates use the best naming system:

"Baseplate 32 x 32 Road 8-Stud <style> [with Pattern]"

Can it be changed for next release of Ldraw parts?

We can submit changes at any time -- they get released in an update once
they go through the approval process.

Do you want to work on reorganizing the names for these files?
