RE: Official Library File Format Restictions - Orion Pobursky - 2020-05-30
I'm making significant document structural changes so I'm going to discontinue highlighting the changes in red

Hmm, The Part number FAQ is very comprehensive. Maybe I'll just make a cleaned up and indexed version of that into a new document.

Now that Peeron is in legacy mode, we should remove references to it.
Agreed.

Just some comments from my side
Colour restrictions I thought we stopped the use of the mentioned exception for colour 16 (and other colours) for type 2 lines?
Sticker description May I point to this discussion: https://forums.ldraw.org/thread-23971.html. I would like another line like "the background colour of the sticker must be noted at the end of the description followed by the word background"

I'm not quite done (and there's some weird going on with the TOC) but I am mostly finished with reformatting. I thought I'd share my progress before I turn in for the night.
RE: Official Library File Format Restictions - Orion Pobursky - 2020-06-02
So I'm kinda at a loss as to where to put the last 2 subjects (stud groups and ldconfig). Maybe stugs to the Part Number spec and LDConfig on its own?
RE: Official Library File Format Restictions - Orion Pobursky - 2020-06-04
Stugs have been moved to the Part Number spec. I moved the LDConfig paragraph under the Colour Restictions heading.
Id like more comment. Particularly I'd like comments on the general rules for shortcuts.

I'm not keen on shortcuts - though some are surely usefull. In particular I don't like shortcuts with flat stickers on bricks as well as all minifig assemblies that go beond the very basic torso-arms, hip-leg.
You should consider incorporate Colour Definitions https://www.ldraw.org/article/547.html into LDraw.org Standards: Colour Definition Language Extension as a practical example.
There is nothing on patterned parts and the requirment of their plane counterpart in the library.
Nothing on canvas/fabric/cloth - guess it should go into the part numbering and we should address a convention when Canvas or Cloth is used.

I know we hashed this out already in the closed discussion. I'd like to hear from the larger community

I agree and that's in there.

Hmm. That document is really meant to be a quick reference for the current LDConfig.ldr

Do you mean have a flat and formed part?
