[LSC] Updated CATEGORY and KEYWORD specs

[William Howard]

Hi all,

Sorry for the period of quiet but my PC died a death during a graphics
card update and it was just too painful trying to send email via the web
interface.

So, do I take it from the complete lack of response that the LSC doesn't
want responsibility for defining new categories and is happy to leave
this to the PT Admins

William

I've updated this extension

the new version is here
http://www.ldraw.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=4
08 

(while Willy's previous version can still be found here
http://www.ldraw.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=3
40)

I have no idea why PostNuke has corrupted the table of categories
(probably the same reason it ate the main specifications page earlier -
it appears to have removed all embedded styles!)

I have two issues with the extension as it stands

1) Does the LSC really want to be responsible for defining new
categories? I see this as the domain of the PT Admins.  I think the LSC
should define the extension but leave the actual list of categories to
the admins (after all we don't allocate x3DN numbers of pattern
suffixes)

2) There was a bit in the !KEYWORDS section about keywords just being
space delimited (as well as comma-space delimited), but then what does
"word1, word2 word3, word 4" mean? Is it three or four terms?  If it's
three terms (as intended), keywords MUST be comma delimited.
