A few further things I noticed thus far:
1) Our current system produces mis-matches between the LDraw number system and the ones used on Bricklink, Rebrickable & co:
(Note: The 76382p47.dat is just a placeholder to explain the point. The actual Shortcut does currently not exist in LDraw)
2) There are a few torsos which exist in multiple colours. Usually this is no big deal, but occasionally this causes issues with LDraw pattern standards:

The crest should technically be colour 16 on different sides, depending on the base colour.
Another issue is the neck colour, which changes depending on base colour.
Are these minor details enough to cause a new file?
3) There is a torso assembly, we have not yet talked about: Design ID 73403 (https://brickset.com/parts/design-73403).
Torsos before 2006 never came in the form we currently have, but with pre-assembled heads:

Whilst this has quite limited use, it is an official part... For inventory purposes, this might resolve some inconsistencies between the box piece count and actual piece count.
