I'm confused. Is this a change to the current LDraw.org file
specifications (which I thought was 0.23) or part of the next LDraw.org
file spec (which I thought was going to be 1.0)? The spec published on
LDraw.org
http://www.ldraw.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=45
(which is not numbered at all) does not mention this requirement
(despite having last been updated last May), so presumably
standards-compliant software has had no reason to enforce it.
