Hi there. I just found this about BFC. As I understand it, it's intended to be used to reduce the amount of polygons etc. in the modell that is renderd, in some way? If I've understood this correctly, is thisthen used in any current tools for (...) (20 years ago, 2-Aug-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I actually considered that when you made your original post. However, there are actually multiple different perfectly valid heirarchies, and for this reason I think the flat list is better overall. Here's an example with a different (...) (20 years ago, 2-Aug-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) There's no significance, AFAIK. The Perl module, XML::Simple, wraps the <opt> tag around everything automatically. I scanned the docs, but didn't see how to control it. Steve (20 years ago, 31-Jul-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)
