I really would prefer that the origin be plugin compatible with 193 just like
Minifig Helmet and Visor. It may be a little inconvient to rotate but it's
consistant with official part and lends to easily throwing together a Minifig
using this part.
Also, a little artistic licence is okay in this case. The eyes of a properly
placed Minifig head should show through the visor slot.
