I remember you used those examples when we were originally hashing this - in
fact, they're cited in a post of mine setting the current standard back then.
See the links at www.ldraw.org/repository/
Anyways... as far as optional M, that means - if there's multiple sets that year
with that number, there's a letter or number (I forget which was decided) in the
M slot. If there isn't, there's nothing in the M slot, not even a filler. So,
for example:
6195-1995.mpd and
1974A-1989.mpd
are both perfectly valid.
