I don't know about a real glassless version of the 7930 door, but I
noticed when rendering the 368 taxi house that the 7930 door did not have
glass. The current official LDraw part 7930.dat has no glass!
Since I have only glassed versions of the door (except those where
the glass fell out...) I wanted to add glass to the door and asked
Steve or Chris about partnames. I've been told to give the glass
a seperate partnumber, since it was an actual seperate part.

I think it is meant that the door and the glass are two seperate
pieces of plastic and seperately molded and thus worth two seperate
partnumbers. I think TLG also used two different numbers to identify
them.
But let the partnumber-gurus decide what we (the LDraw related community)
should use ;-)

On the other hand, it is more likely to have a glassless windowframe part
and use that as a subpart for the combination with glass. Saves diskspace
and prevents redundancy (maintaining two almost identical files).

Or the glassless version and the glass parts should have a title
starting with a tilde (~) so they don't appear as individual parts.
