Hi all,

Not sure if this is the correct group for this, but I was wondering about a
possible contradiction in the specs.

I started working on a translation of my LD4DStudio renderer in C++ in means of
a refresher course. While starting this up I decided to try and create a ldraw
file loading implementation as close to the standard as possible.

So while setting up the comment / meta handling stuff I read in the 1.0.0 specs
comments are preferred to start with "0 //" (old way depreciated), But when
gathering all meta line keywords I noticed the extension documents are using
comments without the // all the time.

Just something I noticed.

Greetings,

Roland

If by "extension documents" you mean the (sub-)specifications referred to from
the main 1.0.0 spec document (ie this page http://www.ldraw.org/Article218.html)
there is no contradiction as the referenced specs were ratified BEFORE the main
1.0.0 spec (they had to be, otherwise the main spec would have referred to
non-ratified documents) and so were ratified against the prior 0.27 spec.  It's
the classic chicken-and-egg situation - can't ratify the main spec without the
referenced specs being ratified, but the referenced specs need the main spec to
be ratified so they can conform to it!
