Better, I suppose - but the problem here is that, whatever
might be said in primary legislation, it leaves common law offences
entirely unaffected.

That is simply not true.

Statute law overrides common law.

If the legislation states that it will not be a breach of the peace to
be naked, then you would no longer be able to be arrested for BoP just
for being naked.

This isn't going to happen, of course, but if it did, then that would
be the effect.
