0 NAME and 0 FILE: to sync or not to sync?

[Roland Melkert]

But apart from that, are there reasons why these two entries should or should not always match?

NAME does not have to match the filename, its purpose is to name the following (single) model. This is useful when the model is not stored in its own file like when put into a email (pre attachments era).

The FILE meta didn't exist back then, this was later introduced as an extension to allow for multiple ldraw files in a single file. This also makes it easier to extract valid ldraw content from mixed text files.

Keeping them in sync or using NAME at all (outside omr) is purely up to the user.
