See, right there I couldn't agree with you less. I spend a lot more time
producing a design in LDraw than I do plugging the parts list into Bricklink,
and when I'm doing so I generally have to stick to part numbers rather than
descriptions because I can never remember the Bricklink names. LUGNET's part
guide and Peeron's inventory system follow the LDraw names where they're
available, so right there you also have three resources that are in agreement
through the entirety of their databases whenecver at least two resources list
the same part. It always struck me as odd and possibly somewhat exclusionary
that Bricklink often uses different names and part numbers (sometimes even when
both conventions appear to be using an official part number they aren't the same
number), especially given that Bricklink does not link back to any other
resource (on Peeron, for instance, you can find a link to download any approved
LDraw files for that specific part).
