This way, application developers can decide if to support either or both approaches and LDraw.org could focus on qualifying how unofficial file load/parse under each scope should be implemented, pros, cons etc...
Ideally we want the spec to fully specify exactly what should happen when loading any LDraw file. Having two possible results, where the file looks completely different depending on which program loaded it is bad.
