Yes, I think it is unncessary. Why would you do that?
Besides it would hurt performance. With the current scheme I set a
Seamable flag on LT1 references once during input. Then if seams
are turned on I can simply test the flag when traversing the tree.

I'm not sure what you're aiming at. Can you give an example?
A subpart should only be a bit of a part that can be used repeatedly
to reduce part file size.
A subpart should not be a complete part, and parts should not be
subassemblies or shortcuts referencing other parts.
The idea is to consider a part as a unit that can be slightly shrunken.
Whether a part is one large DAT file or made up of several is unimportant.

Thanks, I'm glad you understand and appreciate it!
