Forgot the footnote:

1- There's an interesting distinction between 'valid' and 'well-formed'
contructions.  LDraw will allow line-breaks as whitespace in commands, so:

1 16 0 0 0 1 0 0

LDraw will also recognize scientific notation for any of the parameters
(including colour), but commands with SN are not well-formed.
