And sticker sheets seem to get different types of numbers. It seems like
the current 'system' of numbers include both a 5-digit and a 7-digit number.
I think LDraw sticker files can be handled in the same way we handle small
parts on runners (like coins, tools, etc). The assembly of runner/parts has
one number from TLC. For LDraw, we derive the individual file names by
adding a one-letter suffix to this number. For stickers, we might have to
allow a 2-letter suffix (thinking about sheets with lots of stickers, like
the football/soccer teams).
We could also use an approach like we use for patterned parts - use the base
number, plus a one-letter "sticker indicator" (like S, or something), plus a
2-character "sticker code". The problem with this method is the sticker
sheet numbers with 6 or 7 digits would exceed our 8-character partfilename
limit.

Good point. Probably this will have to be decided after someone has a set
of sticker files ready to be submitted. But I think something like:
71447A.DAT Sticker Set 6558 Red Oval with "558"
71447B.DAT Sticker Set 6558 Dolphin Logo Dexter
71447C.DAT Sticker Set 6558 Dolphin Logo Sinister
71447.DAT Sticker Set 6558 Sheet 25mm x 40mm
(see example scan at <http://www.geocities.com/partsref/71447.jpg>)
would work. Each sticker gets a part file, and so does the complete sheet.
But I'm open to other suggestions.

| Dear List, I remember that some times ago we have discussed the topic of Lego stickers in Ldraw. There was no clear agreement on the nomenclature, the positioning, assigment to parts etc. I'm writing this mail to unfreeze slightly this topic, (...) (23 years ago, 14-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
