I got some review comments about these parts on the PT:

http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?f=parts/x265c01.dat
http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?f=parts/x266.dat
http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?f=parts/x266c01.dat
http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?f=parts/x267.dat

I've been given these partnames, without s\ suggestions by Steve Bliss, so I
assumed it was right to create these as individual parts.

I had a similar discussion about part 7930 and the glass piece x268 with Steve:
(Steve, I hope you don't mind that I quote you publicly)

> > 7930s..  ~Glass for Door  1 x  3 x  4

> Use x268.dat for this glass.  The glass is its own part, and it has its
> own real part number.  So we don't add suffixes to get a number, we assign
> a 3DN.

> > Parts starting with  ~, should these be stored in the parts\s-folder?

> No.  Files which represent actual LEGO elements go in parts\.  "Actual
> LEGO elements" includes simple bricks, compound parts (like your 2x2 light
> bricks) and component parts (like the glass for the 7930 door).
> Additionally, any file that a modeler might need to interact with also
> belongs in parts/.  Examples of these files are the segments of flexible
> parts.
> The only files that belong in parts/s/ are fragments of complete elements,
> like tiles without tops, or dithered-color fragments of patterns.

(...) I'm assuming you'd like a response to Steffen's review-comments. Yes, these files should go in the parts directory, not parts\s. If for no other reason than because some model-builders might want to change colors (to non-lego-produced (...) (23 years ago, 3-Dec-03, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I protested then, and I protest the same way now. I don't agree with Steve, and I probably never will. There was *ABSOLUTELY NO NEED* to make three files for one part like 7930. With some classic windows, there will even be four files: one (...) (23 years ago, 3-Dec-03, to lugnet.cad)
