So waittaminut. I read you writing that 9326 *was* a number for the
composite torso-with-arms-and-hands, but is not any longer used for that
purpose. The 9xxx numbers were an earlier composite range. New parts are
made with 5-digit numbers. So where's the 'future conflict'? What part is
going to come along and slurp up 9326? Is this really a move worth making?

The 'minifig 3-digit part range' currently includes:
970.DAT Minifig Hips
971.DAT Minifig Leg Right
972.DAT Minifig Leg Left
975.DAT Minifig Arm Right
976.DAT Minifig Arm Left
977.DAT Minifig Hand
979.DAT Minifig (Complete Figure Shortcut)
980.DAT Minifig (Complete Figure Shortcut, Sitting)
So 973 974 978 or 981 would be the next open numbers. I'm not sure why we
skipped 973, 974 and 978 when we laid out these numbers...
