For better or worse, we're now stuck with the orginal LDraw meta-commands,
and effectively stuck with the meta-commands that are already in use (for
BFC, MPD, etc).  But, if we're going to try to decide how define good
behavior for future meta-commands, I think we should come up with something
that guarantees that legitimate comments aren't mistaken for meta-commands.


Are we REALLY stuck with current meta-commands?  Sure if we change them all
(the META Statements) after setting up a "body of standards" our old files
may not work but somewhere down the future is it NOT better to NOT worry
about backward compatibale and worry about creating a NEW better format?  I
know that Tim is going to go YUK on this idea of non-backwards compatiable,
but I would rather see a proper solution then anoth band-aid on our LDraw
format.
