Hi, sorry for the delay.

Looks great to me. The only thing I did think, there's a lot of use of 
the term "DAT file" - does that need to be included in the definitions? 
I'm actually leaning towards changing it to "Ldraw file", because the 
BFC standard applies equally well to LDR and MPD files, even though it's 
not often used directly in them. I'd suggest a definition along the 
lines of:

LDraw file: A single LDraw file, specifying a part, sub-part, primitive 
or model. Parts, sub-parts and primitives have the extension DAT, while 
models can use DAT, LDR or MPD. While BFC meta-commands are rarely used 
in model files, they still apply, and should be used if the model file 
contains any line types 2-5.

Thoughts?
