And wouldn't it be easier (ie more understandable) to have just DOCUMENT.INFORMAL? After all a webpage is just a particular _format_, not a _type_. And until this thread got going I'd never heard of "screed" and I don't think I'm alone. If it does go in, it might end up being effectively "document.misc" as people may just assume its a catch all field for things that don't fit elsewhere.
