Wait a second, are you saying that if a viewer allowed "wear as",  
reset the sliders, and let you save the wearable back as a new  
clothing type, that would work now? A viewer could implement changing  
the type of a wearable and the server wouldn't prevent it?

OK, if a third party viewer did this, what would LL's response be?  
Would this be allowed under the TPV policy?

Because this could be huge. Amazing.

See, for most clothes these days, about the only sliders most people  
actually use are looseness for pants and sleeves (and skirts, but  
skirts wouldn't be a compatible type with anything). Everything else  
is handled by alpha in the texture layer, not in the length sliders.  
Setting looseness to minimum and length to maximum... hmmm...
