That seems backwards to me.  If "LCAD" is the all-encompassing term
we want to use, then LDraw would be a subset of LCAD, and the
'proper' subdomain name would be ldraw.lcad.org (to go along with
mlcad.lcad.org, etc).

Shouldn't the latter be mlcad.ldraw.lcad.org?  I tend to view any
program which uses the LDraw parts library in any way as a descendant
of the LDraw heritage, and hence as a subset of "LDraw in the wider
sense".

If a LEGO CAD program "Xyzzy" had a brand new parts numbering system
and data file layout, I would put it directly under LCAD:
xyzzy.lcad.org.

But this is very hypothetical!  ;-)
