Yes, it's normal. I just opened hundreds of sealed sets from 2015-2017 and
another few dozen individual sealed bags from 2005-2018. Not only is it normal
to have groove/no groove differences in the same set, but it's also normal
for the proportion of them to vary between different copies of the same set,
even bought at the same place on the same day. Same for hollow stud/blocked open
stud on heads and certain other pieces, same for hollow/solid underside tubes
on bricks and plates, same for virtually every mold difference.

A sealed set sounds like a strong case to remove the undetermined type and add
what you actually found as regular and alternate parts

I would love to see an inventory for x1447c01 in the catalog, but I don't

And we also need a catalog entry for the Duplo pull cart with string and brick.

Do you intent all the parts known to BrickLink? Or all the parts that exist?
E.g. the 3001 brick comes in 3 major differences on BrickLink, but if you count
all the (technical) differences then there are at least 42... so where
to draw the line?
Here you go, 42 different 2 x 4 bricks...

That is one of the lists I started with. There are more than 42...
But I am STILL missing one of those! I can't believe how difficult it is
to find number 31!

Sometimes if feels like my girlfriend is actively trying to do exactly that!
We get a new lot in, she does the rough sorting and assembly of any interesting
sets she can find, selects what she doesn't already have in the "play lego"
and gives me the leftovers for the shop.
I'm not complaining... I found the trick. I overwhelm her with parts and
I get a constant supply of (mostly vintage) sets and (eventually) enough parts

There’s an onlive live tour (part 3 was today)

Not sure if they will make them available for download sometime.

There is a historical section which covers the history of the company and the
development of products, from wooden toys (and barns) through to more modern
day products. It is not a one-of-everything type display, more a showcase of
important stages in the development of todays product.

Not so. It would be nice to have official approval, of course, but a museum
could open and operate just fine without it. It just couldn't advertise
itself as a LEGO museum (which is why the existing museum is called the Toy and
Plastic Brick Museum).

Stickered parts should only be accepted if they are exactly as show in the instructions.
So in this case it would need to be as a special assembly I'm afraid.
In the past they may have been accepted due to stickered assemblies not being
accepted so it was the next best thing at the time.

Not really a long-term project, just one that someone would have to throw some
$$ at (it would be a permanently ongoing project, of course). Basically what
you're describing is the need for a LEGO museum.
I've wanted for a very long time (at least 10 years) to see this happen:
a place where you could visit and see and interact with all the LEGO items in
the BrickLink catalog (sets, parts, gear, etc.). I think about it whenever someone
posts in the forum bragging about destroying a sealed set from 1980, for example,
just to part out the contents.
It is certainly possible to make this happen and it could be set up as a 501(c)(3)
nonprofit. There is only one LEGO museum in the U.S. (the PBM) and its focus
is not on this area. Even Billund does not have a true LEGO museum of all LEGO
items, at least not that I'm aware (the vault doesn't really count).
Anyway, all that would required to make a museum happen is a group of organizers
and some charitable donations.

| Such a collection would be an invaluable tool for the hobby, to be sure. While
1 person probably couldn't do it, dozens of people could.
Just an idea - Bricklink recruits members to collect a category (or several,
or part of one - I'm looking at you printed minifig torsos) to house the
"official" parts collection. How to implement such a undertaking, I haven't
a clue.
But imagine the sight and interest it would draw if the entire collection could
be shown at LEGO conventions/shows!
Obviously a LONG term project to be sure.
