[LSC] colon or semi-colon?

It's valid either way.  If it was a colon, what follows it would be a list
(and then the items should be seperated with semi-colons) - according to
Lynne Truss "Eats Shoots & Leaves" this is now consideref out-dated.
 
As a semi-colon, it's joining two sentences where the second helps to
clarify the first.  This is the usage I was intending

I vote yes.

As a note, I did find what I feel is a grammar error.  Do a search for the
following text:

within that file; clockwise, counterclockwise 

It is my opinion that the semicolon should be a colon.  This doesn't affect
my vote.

Background:

The LSC adopted the de-facto BFC standard as their draft BFC standard
(
<http://www.ldraw.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=217>
http://www.ldraw.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=217)
and have since been working to clarify a few ambiguities.

The current working version of the BFC specification can be found here 
(revision 1, version 4)
(http://www.ldraw.org/index.php?name=News
<http://www.ldraw.org/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=408>
&file=article&sid=408)


------------Beginning of proposal---------- 
That the LSC adopts the BFC standard as given at
http://www.ldraw.org/index.php?name=News
<http://www.ldraw.org/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=408>
&file=article&sid=408 as the first 
version of the official BFC standard
and publishes it as such.
---------------End of proposal--------------
