LDraw is promoted as LDraw, LUGNET as LUGNET, etc... My concern was this was
initially being promoted as LEGO Coordinate Database. If it is promoted as
LCD then I agree the issue is not as important.
I sent this to Tim in a private email because I was not sure how important
it was and I knew you would be there if I posted it. <g,d,r>
