But assuming a clear line could be drawn, where would sub-assemblies go?
Do sub-assemblies lean toward the "elements" end of the spectrum or toward
the "sets" end of the spectrum?  Or do they fill all parts of spectrum?

Thought provoking..

Some sub-assemblies are complex enough to be almost "set-like" in nature
(for example, sub-models of larger models, if you count those as sub-
assemblies).  Others are simple enough to be almost "element-like" in
nature (for example, a brick hinge composed of two actual half-hinge
elements, or an old 70's conveyor belt ramp thingie which consisted of
something like 6 separate actual elements).

That poses a problem.

In other words, in the final analysis, I wasn't trying to draw a distinction
at all.  :)  Just pointing out that it's so blurry, maybe it doesn't make
sense to have a distinction (with respect to TLG-subgroups of .cad.dat).

Would an inlined model or an mpd posted to the group help??  I know people
would have to download an mpd to run it through file splitter, and I'm not
sure exactly what an inlined model is, but its a suggestion.  Or a few
posts by the same person giving each model, and denoting which post is the
main model.  Afterall, will this group be browsed?  I would think it would
be accessed more often by links from www.ldraw.org and lugnet...

Or maybe it does...but it's not cut & dry.

A seemingly silly question at first can seem terrible when you get down to
the nitty-gritty. :)

Keep Building!!
