This is already in the spec:
"The sticker(s) must be applied in the same location(s) as shown in the instructions for the official LEGO model from which the sticker(s) originate(s)."
This implies the sticker shortcut should be as "realistic" and "original" as possible.
But on transparent parts (and only transparent parts, but this includes clear and colored), this would result in:
- partially invisible stickers (paper stickers, who dont need BFC NOCLIP) when viewed from the inside
- overly shaded stickers (partially trans-clear stickers on not-clear parts) because renderers dont consider the minimal thickness of the sticker, only the additional faces
Therefore, I would add under "Additionally":
"Sticker(s) should be color 16 unless on a normally transparent part or section, then use the real sticker color."
this then also includes the standard sticker color and the other "hardcoded stickers on transparent section" special rule
