How about the inclusion of an object's 'Wearable' option? This could involve dressing the character in clothes suitable to the storyline: Shoes, socks, slacks, shirt, cloak, spectacles, bandana, false nose, wig, flippers, lipstick etc., each item set to be removable or not.

Yes, I think this would be a great addition.

The Pixie has created a simple Clothing library here - http://www.textadventures.co.uk/quest/resources/

Would be good to extend that, and make it Editor-friendly.
