Yes, please. Fixes and improvements are always accepted!

Great!
One more comment (to everyone, not Dave) about overlapping rectangles, and why
not to use them. When this approach is used simply as a shortcut so the
author doesn't have to figure out more vertices, they can generate notice
artifacts (ie, errors) in programs that do 'shading', such as LDLite and
L3Lab. This is noticable when the edge of one polygon intersects another
polygon, but not at the second polygon's edge. This can cause a line to
appear in the second polygon.
This is noticeable in the 1x5x4 inverted half-arch. See <part:2339>.
