I think that the list of connectors/connections needs to be expanded from what
is shown here. My specific concern after reading the draft is that it does not
seem to cover the possibility of placing a mini-fig headgear piece on a 1x1
round brick. A concrete example of where this might be used is in the
modelling of a store with a display of hats or "wigs". It also does not
address the placing of pieces in "uncommon" ways, such as hanging a mini-fig
helmet on a 1x2 plate with arm (LDraw part 4623). The "uncommon" ways could be
handled just as they are now, but being able to put a 1x1 round brick into a
minifig headgear is something that should be automatic.
Other that that oversight, the proposal has a lot of merit. I would be
interested in expanding the model, and in providing support for the development
of this as a standard. I just don't have the expertise to do the coding to
help with development.

I think your comment is correct, the connectability needs to encompass a minifig hat on a standard stud... where there may be weakness in their terminology is that they handle fields of studs as one... and while a minifig hat will NOT fit onto (...)
