Hi Philo,
This illustrates the difference. True LEGO technic parts actually have their hole center slightly higher than system parts (this is discussed in the Stressing the Elements document that floats around). This new hinge part demonstrates it quite clearly since it has a tiny bridge (like the 9LDU part) underneath going from the round part to the plate.
But the LDraw part should keep to the usual standard with center at 10LDU and the bridge cannot appear.
Make sense?
