  So the latest proposal is still carried, yes?

  By three votes against, zero for, and two (as yet) uncast, this proposal is rejected.

   

  NOTE: It was superceeded by an almost identical proposal that allows zero or more qualifiers whereas this proposal would only have allowed one optional qualifier.

    Subject: [LSC] Call for votes: Optional qualifier for !LDRAW_ORG header

     

    Sorry for any undue haste, but I'm off for the week

     

    Background - http://five.pairlist.net/pipermail/lsc/2007-August/000915.html

     

    This proposal is in THREE parts.

     

    A "no" vote for part a) will imply "no" votes for parts b) and c)

    A "yes" vote for part a) will require seperate votes for parts b) and c)

     

    ------------Beginning of proposal---------- 
    a) To add an optional qualifier to the !LDRAW_ORG meta-command.

    The new syntax for this meta-command becomes

        0 !LDRAW_ORG Part|Subpart|Primitive|48_Primitive|Shortcut (qualifier) UPDATE YYYY-RR
    (see http://www.ldraw.org/Article398.html).  

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

    There may only be one qualifier 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
