Yes, in an ideal world, I'd like to see all the instructions available for
download in a single printable (PDF?) document. However, I expect TLG would
want to host that themselves (if at all). If they did, a high quality set data
base which, perhaps, gave some design background for the higher profile sets
would also be good. The end product would provide a useful data source for
AFOLS, and design/building inspiration/ideas for AFOLS and kids alike.
