Currently we use the "name" of the set to separate it if there are two sets with the same number.
http://guide.lugnet.com/set/6901
6901 - Mobile Lab.mpd
6901 - Space Plane.mpd
If we are inside the MPD we use then the qualifier number to separete the submodels from the different sets.
6901-1 Hatch.ldr
6901-2 Minifig.ldr
So if I have separated the submodel from one of the MPD files I have no chance to see to which set it really belongs. In my eyes this is really a bad solution.
If we use also the <qualifier> for the MPD name it would be clear.
I do not think that there will be much extraction/reassembling of subfiles in the same model. The only reason I can think of extracting a submodel would be the reuse of a subfile like the minifigs in another MPD, but in this case it would be renamed anyway. On the other side there is just one model out in the wild via the AIOI which would be affected, so a change would not do much harm - given that the <optional qualifier> in:
<Set Number>-<optional qualifier> - <Set Name>[ - <Sub Model Name>]
isn't mandatory for all other sets and is only "added if there is more than one set that could be assigned <Set Number>."
