- "0 BFC CERTIFY INVERTNEXT" -> "0 BFC INVERTNEXT"
- type 1 ref name case mismatch
- all zero matrix in type 1 line -> id matrix
- all zero row or col in type 1 line matrix -> tries to correct by adding 1 or -1 at suitable position.
- type 1 line with color 24 -> color 16
- type 4 line with hourglass sequence, tries to fix by swapping/rotating points around
- type 4 line with duplicate points -> degrades to triangle (but only if the other 3 are unique).
- non flat type 4 line (0.0015 dotprod diff -> ~3deg) -> degrades to two type 3 lines.
- type 5 line using a control point which is equal to one of it's line points -> degrade to type 2 line.
Most made corrections are the case mismatch, the hourglass or non flat quads though. But all these corrections where added to LDCad because it caused problems in one way or another at some point (in the past).

I don't know. I'm not a programmer, only a part author.Some parts might still look weird because they have many more flaws (like e.g. 206b.dat) but at least all/most invalid formatted LDraw lines should be corrected (like all the zero row/col matrix errors in 206b).
