That's not always possible, as has been discussed.  And is still being
discussed...

I guess that Steve should be able to add a command that inverts the
sequence of points of a quad/tri to LDAO easily (if he has enough free
time).

Yeah, that's a possibility.

This way a program will only have to check for inverse matrixes
on files that are outside the ldraw/parts directory.

OK, but that's a complication for the rendering engine.  It would have
to check the actual path of each file, after the file has been located,
to decide whether the file is 'clean' or not.

And it would still make sense to be able to flag files as being
certified, even if they are outside of the ldraw\p or ldraw\parts.

(...) That's why I droped out of the BFC discussion a long time ago, we are making this a big issue with proposals for a new extension when we could make things much simpler. If you know that a part is wrong, instead of adding a "0 INVERSE" (...) (25 years ago, 4-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
