agreed again... my point being that TLG *may* use different element numbers to
differentiate between certain parts in different colors (perhaps not 1x2
bricks) but that our concern should only be separate part numbers when the
physical makeup of a part is different... and in the case you specified above,
we *would* need different element models with different numbers (which is
exactly what we have in our library, concerning said element)
