And I'd still be happy to include the results of that effort under the LDraw
umbrella. I think Jacob still has documents on his server about "LDraw II".
But we don't need to write a new format -- it's already there. Heck, there are a
bunch of "better formats". One very common one is POV-Ray. Why start from
scratch to creae YAGDL?

I don't care *that* much about it happening. If someone does it, that's great and
I'll jump ship from DAT to whatever.
What I think is more important, and more reachable, is to firmly cement LDraw to
POV-Ray, so we can all easily get high-quality output from our LDraw models. If
we had an accepted standard to work from, we could be producing high-quality
POV-Ray-based parts from now until the cows come home.
And we could still call them LDraw.
