As Steve would say - LDraw and LEdit exist as a benchmark. I would add - for
the _original_ LDraw spec - that is, everything LDraw/LEdit can do.

1.0.0 spec, which is essentially what Kevin is working on - documenting all
meta-commands up to this point, even is beyond the capabilities of LDraw/LEdit.

I propose a subset of the 1.0.0, or a small document for a previous spec
(perhaps 0.2.7, as that's the archive's version number), to clearly define
everything the original software can do. Note: LDraw/LEdit don't even
support MPD!
