No new META commands are neccessary, the CATEGORY metacommand is already in

indentifiable to a program and thus the seam width shrinking can be overridden.

A sticker category is a good idea.

According to "CATEGORY and KEYWORDS Language Extension" at ldraw.org
"Sticker" is not (yet) allowed.
http://www.ldraw.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=340

Sticker is allowed, the list at the above URL is slightly out of date and will
be fixed.

A few of the stickers in the Parts Tracker already use the category.

"LDraw Official Library Standard for Sticker Parts" at ldraw.org
should be updated with the CATEGORY metacommand.
http://www.ldraw.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=339

It specifies that the part name begin with "Sticker".  A part's category is the
first word in the part title if none is explicitly stated via a CATEGORY meta.

PS. Are the links above permalinks?
How about some nicer names like
http://www.ldraw.org/standards/stickers

All articles (that is any URL containing "file=article") on the LDraw.org server
can be referenced via the following form:
http://www.ldraw.org/article/XXX where XXX is the number after the "sid="
portion of the long URL.  It's not more descriptive but is definately shorter.
