|
| As far as I can see (maybe I overlooked something):
In the regular section of the inventory there are parts that are not used in
the main model (and the instructions or box do not show any secondary model):
1x black brick 1x2
2x black plate 1x1 clip horizontal
2x black slope inverted 75 2x1x3
1x black tile 1x4
But then in the extra parts section of set 10205 are 2x black panel 1x2x3 (2362b).
Shouldn't these two panels also be moved to the regular section?
Or should all these parts be moved to the 'extra' section as the secondary
model is not in the instructions?

You are definitely correct in noticing that there is a problem with this inventory,
so thank you for bringing this to our attention! 
The current definition for what constitutes a Regular Item in an inventory on
BrickLink is shown here from https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1562
"Regular Items - All parts required to build the main model and any secondary
models, plus any other items on the official parts list. In the absence of a
parts list, the instructions, box images, and official part count may be used
to determine as closely as possible the constitution of the Regular section."
So let's go down the list...
Are these parts shown in the main model or any secondary models? No, so this
first criteria points to all of these parts as being extras.
Are these parts shown on the official parts list? There is no official parts
list, so this criteria is inconclusive and directly leads us to the last criteria.
Are the parts shown in the instructions? No.
Are the parts shown on the box images? No.
Are the parts included in the official part count? YES!
The box clearly states that there are 234 parts included in the set. Right now,
the BrickLink inventory lists 232 parts. Therefore, the panels in the Extra Items
section should be included in the Regular Items section. The LEGO Replacement
Parts website also confirms that all of the parts you listed as not being used
in the instructions *were* included in the set.
In conclusion, the inventory will be updated to move the panels to the Regular
Items section.
Thank you for contributing to the accuracy of the BrickLink catalog. 
Cheers,
Randy
