Instead, can we not ensure that every official part has a line "0 Official LDraw
part" or some such in the header? That way, it would be possible to just scan

Only problem is all existing parts would need to have this added (I notice there
are some parts with only a description in the header...). Future parts could
have it added when an update is being prepared.
