Alright here's the deal.
The ultimate aim of the LSC is to compile and consolidate all of the LDraw
related file format definitions into one document (1.0.0) and then, once the
initial work is done, solicit ideas to further extend or modify the file format.
That said, having tow separate documents, 1.0.0 for meta commands which is
modifiable by the LSC and 0.2.7 for the LDraw/LEdit program which is fixed,
would not allow the LSC to, say, add a linetype for polygons or modify the
way we define colors. Have one large document (or several small linked
documents) would allow us to move forward much easier.
