(...) All LDraw submodels that are not official sub-models can be inlined and then the separate parts moved around to keep the order of attaching pieces correct.

(...) Why can't someone temporarily renamed a file to an 8.3 name while working on it in LEdit, but keep the names in a non-DOS format for storage and publishing?
