I admit I am skeptical of format proliferation. If this isn't saving many megabytes, I don't think it's worth it. The cost of not being able to share files with other software is high.
But if you must do it, please use only one extension. And make it ldrz. (No datz, no mpdz, etc.) The fact that LDraw files already use four extensions for the exact same content is crazy. Given that we just made MPD support mandatory and re-affirmed that all extensions are valid for all files, it's time to let .ldr shine as the branding vechicle it was meant to be.
