That's why I want to know for sure what to do for new authored parts.
(I can't always look how existing parts were done, as these may not be conform
to current rules, like you said.)

Many windows have just a simple rectangular glass piece, which is glued to the
frame on the real part. Many ldraw parts have the glass box inlined with the
frame in one file. Some doors/windows even have just a single rectangle as
glass, I think these are likely to be updated using a box or something. (I've
read that there's a major update on classic windows in the pipeline.)

I have a hold vote on the plastic part of the 2x4 lightbrick that his should be
in the Parts/S folder
(http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?f=parts/x322.dat)
(The hold vote is also for identical lines, but I first want to have this Parts
vs. Parts/S thing solved before I submit a fixed version of this file).

Okay, splitting this into two possibilities:
* Complete assembly of single ABS/CA + various metal bits
- Name: YYYY.dat?
- Folder: Parts
* Complete assembly of multiple ABS/CA + various metal bits
- Name: YYYYc##.dat
- Folder: Parts
