I think we should allow stickers. Granted they won't look spectacular in
LDraw or LDLite right now, but they should still come out great in POV-Ray,
which is what we generally use when we want beautiful output anyway.
The stickers should be offered just like any part, with a thickness equal to
the actual thickness of the sticker.
Even in LDraw, if the stickers look poor, at least they demonstrate where a
stickered part should go.
