I'm currently working on modelling of the stickers of the Technic black
Supercar. Before that I put some question in thread
http://news.lugnet.com/news/display.cgi?lugnet.cad.dev:6715
Then we agreed on the approach that stickers are separate parts just as they
were ordinary bricks since, they can be sticked on various parts, as
alternate models in Technic sets usually require. So they differ from
patterns that are unremovably printed on parts.
In some cases the number of the sticker sheet is known and the sticker part
will get this number as LDraw filename suffixed be some subpart identifier
xxxxxxa.dat, xxxxxxb.dat etc.
Please have a look at my sticker renderings at

My opinion is that we souldn't allow the 'self-certification' of the parts
by their author. I'm sure that everybody carefully checks his or her part
before submission, but the author might not notice some errors that others
could. This is the way of working of the human brain. We get better quality
parts if more independent reviewers have chance to check them.
