> a) To add optional qualifiers to the !LDRAW_ORG meta-command.

> The new syntax for this meta-command becomes

>     0 !LDRAW_ORG Part|Subpart|Primitive|48_Primitive|Shortcut 

> (qualifier (... qualifier)) UPDATE YYYY-RR

> (see http://www.ldraw.org/Article398.html). 

> The  "Unofficial_" extension of Appendix I is still valid.

> There may be zero or more qualifiers per file.

>  

>  

> b) To define an "Alias" qualifier for the !LDRAW_ORG meta-command. 

> The purpose of the Alias qualifier is to identify a part which is 

> visually identical to another (often caused by LEGO using two 

> differnet numbers, one for opaque and one for trans versions of the 

> same part e.g. http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?s=32061, but 

> more recently, there have also been new part numbers for 

> well-established parts - such as brick 2x6).

> An alias file will typically, but not necessarily, contain only one 

> sub-file reference (line type 1) entry

> A file with an Alias type qualifier must not refer to a file that 

> itself has an Alias qualifier.

>  

>  

> c) To define a "Physical_Colour" qualifier for the !LDRAW_ORG 

> meta-command.

> The purpose of the Physical_Colour qualifier is to identify a part 

> which is encoded as a specific colour of a part e.g. 

> http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?s=73311

> An alias file will typically, but not necessarily, contain only one 

> sub-file reference (line type 1) entry, where the entry has a specific 

> colour value and not colour 16
