My thoughts on part naming: A lot of LDRAW names seem like first attempts that have since been improved on by others elsewhere (Auczilla for example.) I've thought hard about many odd part names and I agree it's not easy to make a good name. A good (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jul-01, to lugnet.db.inv)

I'm not sure if this is the right place to bring this up, but... I've noticed that a lot of pieces have been given names which do not allow for the full range of use of the elements. Looking at the inventory of the Sopwith Camel, I found several (...) (23 years ago, 10-Jul-01, to lugnet.db.inv)
