Ah-ha!  I thought that we were talking about random unofficial parts culled form
the ether.  But if LDraw's at the wheel, then how about including something like
"BETA" in the unofficial part's description:

Brick  2 x  4 (BETA)

That would add only seven characters (or five without the parentheses) and would
make it easy for the user to distinguish unofficial parts at a glance.

Dave!

Adding a beta meta (hehehe) would be a nice way to deal with parts that have
enough votes to be released but haven't made it to an official release.

(...) A "version" meta tag might work too. It could be used for any part--not just betas. IIRC, some parts were already released as "official" parts, but were updated at some later point in time for one reason or another. -Mike (16 years ago, 7-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)
