I think Bracket 3 x 2 x 2 would be the best alternative. Keep the space seat
line, just use it a keyword.
And although I sure it has been mentioned before, I think that all theme names
should be relagated to keywords and not as parts categories. Words like castle,
space, town and even boinicle are not intuitive. A newer ldraw user might not
know that the goblet 2343 began its life in castle sets, and would probably
start searching for it under the minifig heading. Not only that, but most of
these parts have been used in many more themes than the old names would lead you
to believe.
