I understand your proposal, but it has the bad side effect of
requiring a double-pass through all the files. For example,
if the first line of your file is:
1 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 foo.dat
and foo.dat is not found in the search path, the rendering
program does not know whether to print an error message or
do a complete pass through all the files to see if there
is a "0 FILE foo.dat" line later.
Personally, if we were to change .MPD, I'd prefer a
"0 DEFINE foo.dat" and "0 DEFINE END" delimiters,
and require they be at the start of the file, with drawing
commands for the main part coming at the end. This would
make it easier to distribute parts libraries, do pre-caching
of files, and redefine parts.
