Which do you all prefer?

I'd recommend going with MPD.  LDLite will render a (properly formatted)
MPD file, and the MPD format allows downloaders the possibility of
splitting the file back into its separate pieces.  Inline is a one-way
operation.

Sounds good to me.  If you could, Steve, include an mpd compiler and
splitter in the next version of LDAO that could make things easier for users.

Oh, and what is happening with the rumored but illusive LDraw II project??
