But having its own group, even under cad.dat.models.sets, would save model
editors time by not having to browse headers. And additional features
could possibly be integrated into an OMR specific group, like marking a
message approved or marking it 'being edited.' It would also free the
casual set newsgroup lurker from weeding out OMR submissions...

I use PKZip myself, but Winzip is considered the best (from what I've
heard). Both are shareware, and accomplish that task.
But some people would want a zip file, so its best to offer both.

IMO it should be a little more complex than sXXXX - because 's' for sticker
could be mistakened for 's' for set. And the four number numbering system
could slightly conflict with existing part and set numbering systems. If
there could be a sticker numbering format, so certain numbers mean certain
things, like space, town, etc on one placeholder, subtheme on the next,
purpose (computer, food, object etc) on the next, etc...

For the most part people do, but it is a lot to ask, and you probably won't
get anywhere above 60% compliance on this one. There is no legal
requirement to link and there shouldn't be. Though it is nice, some people
find off site links annoying....some people want to allow others to find
out about it. Its a matter of the personal preference of the individual
site owner here.
