Dear Chris,
thanks for your patience with stupid newbies like me. Sorry for being not able
to find out these things for myself.
Your explanation has now been very clear and (semi-)logical for me. I would have
wished to find a numbering which had been the same for peeron and ldraw, but I
can guess that this would need lots of communication and organizational
work....

Ok, my confusion has now passed, but other newbies will follow for sure...
Sorry for bothering and stealing your time.
