All the types of armor (diamond, iron, leather, etc) appear to have the same point values. Chestplates 4, leggings 3, boots and helmets 1.5.
Actual armor values may be OK, as a full set of iron armor gave 7.5 points.
Problem may only be with descriptions at the crafting table.

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
I noticed this too. It should really be fixed because it could confuse beginner players.
