Part names have a maximum length of 64 characters. Some rare parts run up
against this limit. Consequently, I don't think adding "Official" to official
part names is a viable solution. (To be honest, it would also by really
annoying to see that on the end of all official part names.) The length
restriction could probably be safely ignored with unofficial parts. Although
I'm not sure this is a good solution to the problem, I can't think of something
better off-hand.
