I could kind of see that, but not in the parts library. I would expect
that any file in the library that specifies NOCLIP does it for a good
reason, and should not be overrode (overridden?).
What I could maybe see in the parts library is a 'force on if it's not
specified' option. So if a parent file has NOCERTIFY, this type of force
on wouldn't do anything. But if the parent has no BFC statement at all, it
would.

But then all parts would need to have the FORCE-CERTIFY setting. Which
would be another statement/option for the renderer to handle, and another
flag for the renderer to track. It makes as much sense to check whether
the file is a part or not, and default CERTIFY/NOCERTIFY accordingly.
