Thanks for the callout… but the “real” document that has my thoughts on part numbering standards was posted here with discussions (Part Numbering Standards 2018 edition). It calls out many various reasons why you should and should not do things with part numbers.
BUT HERE is the more updated 2021 version of the same document. Note that the document not only gives recomendations on part numbers, but on part descriptions as well.
