OK line one: M stands for model, it has been used for as long as
I have
been around. I don't like S for set.

I would agree with all except this.  My reason is because 'set' can be used
to refer to the entire package, where 'model' would refer to individual
items within a set.  ie. Terminal, Airplane, Helicopter, and Service
Vehicle for an airport set.  We could call the overall thing S and the
submodels M, but that would be very confusing and break the models up in
the directories.  That would not work out well.  Still, it is a Lego set, a
model is generally agreed upon to be a component of a set.

As I wrote you, if you're going to name submodels a, b, c...etc.  let the
letter have significance.  a should be the first submodel appearing in the
instruction booklet, b the second...etc...

(...) Ryan and I had decided on M####-**, where #### stood for the set number and ** stood for the last two digits of the year it was released (i.e. M7140-99 for the X-Wing). The date would be replaced by a letter to denote that it is a submodel. (...) (25 years ago, 11-Jun-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
