OK, here's an addition to the document Lars cited. Web-users, you should
probably hit "View Raw Message" to see it formatted correctly. It belongs
in the middle of the page, as part of the 'Commands' section. I'm sticking
to the existing format, but this entry is much longer than current entries.
Maybe the additional detail belongs in a separate section at the end of the
page, after the 'Explanation of Conditional Lines (Linetype 5)' section?
Please let me know what you think.

===========================================================================
File Type meta-command.
Indicates the type of file (model, part, etc), and if it is part of
the LDraw.org Parts Library.
Line format:
0 LDRAW_ORG type update-tag
or: 0 Official LCAD type update-tag
or: 0 Unofficial type
or: 0 Un-official type
This meta-statement should appear as the last line of the primary
file header (that is, the first lines in the file, with the Model
Title, Name: and Author: lines). The first format (LDRAW_ORG) is
the current standard for files in the official parts library.
Older files still carry the second (Official LCAD) format.
The valid values for the type field are:
Part *
Element -
Subpart *
Sub-part -
Primitive *
Shortcut *
Alias *
Cross-reference +
Model -
Submodel -
File -
Hi-Res Primitive -
* = values currently in use for official part files.
+ = obsolete code, still appears on some official files.
- = only used in unofficial files
Some older official files do not include a type code on their
File Type line. Unofficial files may have a variety of values
after the initial tag. In particular, the type values of Element,
Model, and Submodel may be used.
The exact format of the File Type line has changed over time.
In general, this linetype should be considered case-insensitive
and free-format.
