I would definitely like to do this, because the resulting heads look much
better, IMO. (see http://news.lugnet.com/cad/dat/parts/?n=5140) Through the
magic of perl, I've already modified many of the heads on my computer.

Hopefully it's the ball joint that's sized wrong, because it would be difficult
to fix all of the heads and headgear if those are the wrong size.

How about we modify s\3626bs00.dat instead, and delete the curved section
fragment that appears there. Only two files use that currently. This is what
I've done, I can post many of these files to the PT immediately, should you
agree.
