I agree with you ART that it's an underrated genre. I currently have dozens of shorts (topical for FLM) but I will gradually share the REL's amongst the other ones. My vote would be, no special section, but same conditions as feature films.
So; professionally made (I use IMDb as guide) - no amateur films, and:
available on e-mule or usenet.
Many of us are unable to to download from atomfilms, making these clips only viewable but impossible to collect. (in good divx quality for instance)
that's my 0,02$
