What I intended to get across is that armor is the defence against
warriors.  Warriors themselves don't need to be any more effective in
combat, so I see the institution of an armor skill as unnecessary.  If the
skill is made, no one will actually buy it, just default it.  If it is
non-defaultable (stupid considering that sprinting is)  then the people
who really fear warriors and need armor will be left behind by the change
since warriors will be the only ones with the skill.  

Why not just sprint?  Doesn't that get the job done?  Anyone who has
sprinted knows that the skill in the book has little to do with what we
consider sprinting (track), so I can see armor movement going into
sprinting.
