Right.
Since 973.dat would be the only file without a neckmark, it makes sense to
keep the 3/4 neck in s\973s01.dat, and have each torso file supply the
remaining 2-4cyli.dat with whatever color was appropo.
Another approach is to remove the entire neck from s\973s01.dat, and put it
in each part file. That would be more flexible, but I doubt that would be
usable flexibility, IYKWIM.

Have a go at it, if you want. Although I still feel a certain ownership of
the core torso design...

Good point. Doing a very small survey, it appears that nearly all neck
marks are either black or white. Which limits the potential impact.
It appears there are three torso-files where the base torso is fixed-color:
973p11.dat Minifig Torso with Dungarees Pattern
973p65.dat Minifig Torso with Futuron Pattern
973p15.dat Minifig Torso with Horizontal Stripes Pattern
(BTW, why did we release three versions of the Forestman w/ Collar file,
rather than letting the collar-color roam free?)
Considering that whatever changes you make will be an improvement on the
current situation, I wouldn't worry too much about variations.

I'm planning on doing a big category reorganization of the Minifig parts
for 2000-03, so it would be good to update the torso files then.
