  My point was that at some level, changing the naming to distinguish large 
(merged) images for other single images is inconsistent.

  that is to say, right now, I think there are some large (merged) images that 
are currently in the .111, .112, etc format.  Those can all get renamed I 
suppose, but just a note.

  But because of that, having the first digit be a '1' for large images isn't 
necessary incorrect - it is the first part of the image - it just happens to be 
a large image.

  I also have the concern about sort of large images.  For example, with the 
large image support, you could make something like an ogre that is 40 pixels 
high, and it will be drawn properly (ignoring existing drawing errors).  Should 
that have an 'x' or '1' for the first tile?  That's just a matter of 
clarification of when should an x be used instead of 1.
