I like using the CMDLINE as a concise way of documenting the default (i.e., the *usual*, not necessarily the *only*) color of a part. The CMDLINE is usually shorter than the corresponding sentence. For example, for the Minifig Flame, I'd rather see (...) (20 years ago, 14-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

Here's a question : Would bionicle parts be allowed on the ldraw.org parts tracker ? (20 years ago, 14-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.general, lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
