Was it?  I couldn't remember.  I've got an archive of most of the 'sticker
discussion', but it's not on this machine.

I'm sure I was a proponent of thick stickers.  I reversed my position
because LDraw objects are just shells, not solid 3D.  But making a
2LDU-thick sticker, with outside edges, would be a good idea, for the
reasons you stated.

Also, when using stickers, the top surface of the sticker will need to
float at least 2LDU above the surface of the stickee object, to avoid
bleed-through.
