Some sticker sheets appear in multiple sets. One example of this is the
fish sticker sheet from the Divers sets,
<http://www.geocities.com/partsref/71452.jpg>. In these cases, we could
use the playtheme name in the sticker-part name. Or we could name the
sticker-parts after the earliest set in which the stickers appeared.
Sometimes, sets will have multiple sticker sheets. Do we need to worry
a lot about identifying/differentiating the stickers from these sheets?
I don't think so, but it's a potential issue.

The usefulness of the complete sheets would be for making instruction
pages, part lists, and for general parts reference. They wouldn't be
very useful for modelling.
I don't think that having a 'complete sheet' file would be required for
adding any stickers into the parts library.
