Another (perhaps similar) approach: establish a priority of
categories.  Lay out which categories are 'more important' when a
part fits more than one category.

So it might be that Round has higher priority than Plate, but Wing
overrides Round.


I think this sounds like a sensible approach!

I agree. Let's hope we can agree on a priority!

I think it's a good suggestion, and I'm sorry I didn't reply to it
when it was posted.  But I would suggest "Technic Axle" be used,
instead of "Technic Rod".


You mean something like

   2637 Technic Axle 16 with Axleholes
   2739 Technic Axle  6 with Ball Joint Sockets


I am a bit ambivalent about this.  The rods in question are axle shaped,
however they are not _functionally_ axles, as you cannot put things onto
the axles.


There are also the new rod parts, which have an "I" shaped profile beam.
You can find two in black in 6470, and there also exist longer ones
(11L?).  These are not liftarms and are not shaped.  I think these would
be better integrated into a "Technic Rod" category.

I thought both these would fit OK into the "liftarm" category, as that's how
they'd generally be used.

(...) My personal opinion is that the liftarm category in LDraw is way too wide. I'm not quite sure myself what a "liftarm" actually is in the English language. But my understanding from LEGO is that a liftarm is a rod or a beam with a cross axle (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
