Sorry to chip in, if I am not welcome (as I am not a member of the LSC).

What is the LSC opinion on the use of type 2 lines in non-24 colours as
emphasis in fine patterns. So long as they are totally enclosed within a
quad of the same colour they do improve the look of small size renderings. 

Compare this image
(http://www.ldraw.org/library/unofficial/images/parts//973psj.png) that does
use this techniques, with this
(http://www.ldraw.org/library/unofficial/images/parts//973psh.png) that does
not. 

Although I am a personal advocate of this technique (largely because I have
authored so many torsos) it really is an abuse of the LDraw language.
