Since this was posted to .cad instead of .cad.dev, here it is again:

Many Lego elements have no discernable front, rear or side... after
all, some see a 4x2 brick's front as being the 2x end, others will see
the front as the 4x length.

There is the word "LEGO" on the studs... we could orient pieces so that
"LEGO" is right-side up when seen from the front 3/4 view (for pieces
with studs up, of course)

This would contradict some existing standards.  For example, all 2xN
bricks and plates currently have the N oriented on the X axis.  Under
the stud-logo orientation, they'd have to all be rotated 90-degrees.

Also, the stud-logo should be oriented so that the top of the logo is
directed toward the front (or top, depending on the part) of the
LDraw-world.  This would require the logo to appear upside-down in
LDraw's default view.
