And I must mention that, although it is in some ways convenient to be able
to
find pieces by theme, things get messy when themes are used in the
hierarchy.
For example, consider the Castle section of Partsref, and these "Castle *"
parts.  There are parts that would make more sense to be found under
Minifig>Weapon> like Castle Sword[1] or Castle Pike[2]; there are Vehicle
Elments (wheels); there are Panels (castle walls); there's the Castle
Goblet,
which has appeared in many Town sets. . .

I'll let Steve fight his own battle - but I will point out that partref
uses %100 ldraw names... :)

Are you letting me fight my own battles, or throwing me to the wolves?  ;)

Partsref using LDraw names is no defense for me...

Tell me about it.  Our current stance on peeron is that we won't create
new names for pieces that already have names via ldraw/partsref... we'll
just have to convince someone that there's no such thing as a
"cantenary" and one day it'll get fixed :)

And my stance is that partsref uses the data from ldraw.

My advantage is that when LDraw changes, it's very easy to update partsref.
I don't know if changing Peeron is going to be as easy.
