I'd vote for CW for two reasons:
1) 'Clockwise' is shorter than 'counterclockwise'.
2) CW is used more often than CCW in rendering applications (to my
knowledge) because the normal of a CW-defined polygon points outward,
instead of inward.
I'd also suggest that the standard comment read '0 CW' instead of '0
CW-compliant'. Less chance for typographical error if the file was created
manually.
Non-compliant parts shouldn't have any tag, IMO, since a file with no tag
wouldn't be treated any different from a file with '0 not CW'. It would be
redundant.
