Good solution to this problem. We are assuming that these models will not
be edited or modified or if they are very little, right? The idea of this
repository is to give people access to the files so they can look at them
in LDraw and if they desire use pictures generated from them on their
personal sites. Some people like to modify TLG sets (including myself in
some cases) to fit their needs. I would assume these inlined files would
not get too much in the way of doing that.
Then again, making the models editible is not our responsibility. Our
responsibility is offering accurate duplications of TLG models in LDraw.

Correct, and very good idea. I hope it works with the system we're setting
up. If not, it should work for the most part, and we cannot forget about
the age old method of doing things by hand. :)
