dat - parts
ldr - single model
mpd - multiple models

Don't forget XMPD! Meaning, an LDR file should be able to contain parts, submodels, and multimodels. For organizing large multi-user projects this is critical!
But as long as the format is recursive and can later be "unpacked" to however the designers originally intended the models to be it doesn't matter what the extension is.
