I have some comments on this.
I dont understand this: "all official parts are issued with upper-case only names."
AFAIK there are no files in the library with a upper case file ending.
Some dat-files may contain references to primitives using .DAT as a file ending, but it is considered an error and are auto-corrected by LDPE, if you tell it to do that, changing the ending to lower case .dat.
DATHeader ignore this, and accept a file using .DAT in the code.
In some files there is a comment about the use of .DAT on stud primitves to please LEdit. I have ignored that and change any old file I edit and replace .DAT with .dat.
I think it needs a clarification.
Same here. What is this wording trying to explain? Why .DAT? Why upper case?
We have lots of composite parts without the "c" in the filename.
"Unless" is duplicated in the second sentence.
The suffix "-1" on set numbers are not needed, unless there are more than one known sets with the same set number.
