20006 - Clone Turbo Tank

[Travis Cobbs]

My personal opinion is that any LDraw-compatible user-generated file (MPD or not) can perfectly validly have an LDR extension. In my opinion, MPD is just one of many extensions to the LDraw language. Additionally, it is such a widely used one that it should be supported by anything that loads LDraw files; not doing so is just asking for trouble. It's my opinion that splitting LDraw files into MPD and not-MPD is antagonistic towards users due to being confusing for no particular reason. When the MPD extension to LDraw was first introduced, and most programs didn't support it, it made sense to have a separate file extension. I don't think that's the case now, at the end of 2012.
