No, I think the intention is to create an official set of meta-commands,
which official software should recognise and/or implement. The important
point being that any file containing non-ratified commands will not make it
into the official library.

I think programmers should be represented however I think also part & model
authors should also be represented, along with whoever holds the rights to
the Ldraw format. Politics will always appear in such things, hopefully we
