or more traditionally:

Maybe this is a stupid question, but does "Or" have a jargon-meaning?  Or is
it just 'or', used in an unusually-constructed phrase?

Or = gold

So this part

http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?f=parts/3846p4g.dat

would be "Or, A lion Salient Azure"?

Yup, exactly right.  If you want to get *stunningly* technical, "real"
heraldry omits any punctuation at all(1), but I find it a real pain to read
that way.

thanks,

James

1:technically "Or, A Lion Salient Azure" should be "Or a lion salient azure"
You can see how this gets confusing to folks used to reading english... :/
