There had been discussion previously about differentiating true comments from
meta-statements. The LSC agreed that it seems like a good idea to start prefixing
meta-keywords with a punctuation mark, and we chose !.
And !COLOUR is shorter than !COLOURDEF.

Yes. If nothing else, they are shortcuts so we don't have to specify the actual
material properties in our colour definitions. Which saves us from having to have
defined language for materials/textures/etc.

Is it worth the complexity to have multiple formats? And if RGB values can be 0-1.0,
luminance and alpha should be, too.

Yes, good point.

I guess that's up to you. I can easily imagine, in a large scene file, having
color-definition statements at the beginning of model files, so I can take multiple
instances of one multi-color model (like a car) in a scene, and have the instances be
different color schemes.
