We should be able to have TLG names as a language file, since every TLG color
value should map to every BL (BrickLink) color value. I certainly understand
the drive to have them in the file in one form or another.
Perhaps the most benefit can made by creating a mapping from TLG names to the BL
names. This will also help to make sure that we have not left any out, and that
all of the duplicates are removed. Anyone volunteer to create a Peeron-like
spreadsheet that maps TLG colors to BL colors?
This mapping would make future updates much easier as well.
