I think it would be a good idea to allow unknown fields in the

doesn't understand, and doesn't need to.
For example, I was thinking that it might be helpful to add a field to
the footprint format: "part_reference", which would hold a list of
manufacturer and/or vendor IDs associated with this part. For example:
(part_reference (fci 343233222) (farnell 1234567))
Hi John,
How about about adding a generic attribute set for each part, stored as
a list of type-name-value entries:
(part xxx
(attribute "simulation_model" (string "xxxx.cir") )
(attribute "part_reference_farnell" (int 123456 ) )
)
Such scheme would not only allow adding a vendor P/N to each symbol, but
also simulation models, high speed constraints (length, impedance) and
so on.
My 3 cents,
Tom
