Sorry. When I first saw his post, I was just skimming through new posts, and saw how long it was and put it off to look at later. Then, I forgot to come back later.
I don't see any value in the added paragraph regarding comments intended to be inserted just before the Meta segment. Maybe I'm missing something, but I just don't see how it adds to the document. I'm not dead-set against adding the text, but at the moment, I don't see how it helps.
I believe that the line termination should be part of the official LDraw spec. However, given the results of Jim DeVona's experiment from two years ago, I think perhaps the official spec should allow both "DOS" (<CR><LF>) and "Unix" (<LF>) line endings. I'm OK with making DOS line endings the only ones that are officially allowed, but feel this might actually encourage software authors to explicitly only support DOS line endings.
