[LSC] File Format Restrictions for Official Parts

[Philo]

I checked the remaining official folders, results joined.
Clearly 1-8sphe.dat should be improved.

Now I am wondering about the real usefulness of all this. I had a close 
look to the horse head, which has VERY bad results.

I rendered different versions using LDView.

original file

http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Philo/Misc/4492-cor1.png shows the 
file after a "technical correction": all quads warped by more than 1° 
were split into triangles. imho it looks no better - or worse.

I also created files with condlines (with olc) and rendered them with 
smoothing:

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=2836928

My feeling is that we should not be so stringent, and 5° coplanarity is 
probably already quite good for parts.
