Just an abstract note - 

This rings a bell immediately: Why 4? Why not 3 or 5? Don't be confused,
I've read your Web page named 'Specifications for Wear Location System'
really careful, and I like the idea, actually, I love the idea, but see
- there's a common curse to limit ourselves to specific numbers, instead
of abstract.

OK, let me put it this way:

- Let's pretend there are N layers instead of 4.
- What logical/physical layers are there, other than 4 mentioned?
- What would be the object placement rule for an object?

Also, there's a chance for a number 28 to change, too - let's pretend a
gauntlet has an extra hook to hang the car keys on it, which just adds
29th location, and so on.

Also, just in unlikely case you've forgotten, if something heavy hits
you, you may get

- a dent on your chain mail
- crushed alchogol bottle stashed in its inner pocket (btw, one more
wear location)
- some bruise on your chest
- add by taste
