If you think of the weight as serving the dual purpose of describing how much an object weighs and what its encumbrance is when carried, it might make more sense. I can carry a lot less stuff if I also have to carry my clothing in my arms, but the clothing hardly slows me down if I'm wearing it. The same goes for carrying a backpack. Still, I'm not saying that you're entirely wrong in your point-of-view. After all, there's a big difference between jeans and a t-shirt and a suit of plate-mail armor. The wonderful thing about the Diku codebase is that if you don't like it, you're free to change the behavior in any way you like. On my MUD, I've made a number of changes over issues like this. Enjoy it.
