I agree that stickers should be grouped somehow and if the sheet number is
available and is not longer than 5 character than our convention for runners
will work.
If this is not case we could assign a 3 digit number or borrow the number of
the set where the sticker sheet appeared.

This is quit clear approach for numbers. The name is also seems to be good,
but I'm only a slightly uncertain that stickers are really uniquely appear
in a single set. But I think we can accept this assumption.
The other thing to mention that I can't see the usefulness of the complete
sticker sheet file. I doubt the anybody ever wants to use the stikers
arranged in the original sheet. Further it might be impossible to find out
the original layout if the original sheet (or scan) is not available. I
accept however that as a complete reference, it could be nice.
And now back to specifics: Does anybody have the sticker sheet number for
the 8880 Technic car or the scan of the original (or at least the already
emptied) sheet?
I will give a try to modell these stickers in Ldraw and we can continue the
discussion when they will be ready.
