Are you suggesting using the spare character as a theme-flag, or are you
thinking of something else entirely? It would be kind of cool to use a
one- or two-character sub-theme id, and then number within that theme. So
if all the Ice Planet torsos were released, we could have:
974PIP01.dat
974PIP02.dat
974PIP03.dat
With general-theme codes (S for Space, C for Castle, T for Town and P for
Pirates), we could stick to 2-digit codes and still have 99 torsos per
theme. If we use sub-theme codes when possible, there would only be 9
torsos per sub-theme, but has there ever been a subtheme with more than 9
new torsos? And this would all still work, even if we ever discovered the
4-digit part number for the torso:
General theme format: xxxxPtyy.dat
Sub-theme format: xxxxPtty.dat
This would be pretty cool, as long as we all agree that the 'theme id' is
not necessarily an exact reference. TLG is getting away from the Big 4
themes, and running everything as clustered sub-themes, so a lot of parts
don't fit neatly into the main theme designations.
