Glen,

 

"stationery" is just plain sheets of paper. There are qualified versions
of stationery as well, e.g., "stationery-letterhead", so this would just
be another form of that - think special paper used for cover letters or
resumes that otherwise behaves and is used like plain paper.

 

Technically we could use "fabric" as a top-level media type with
qualified versions for different fabrics and finishes, e.g.:

 

            fabric

            fabric-cotton

            fabric-glossy

            fabric-high-gloss

            fabric-inkjet

            fabric-linen

            fabric-matte

            fabric-semi-gloss

            fabric-tweed

            fabric-waterproof

 

however I would consider those types to be specific to fabric printing,
e.g. curtains, clothing, etc., and not to sheets of specialized paper.

	Maybe I wrong but I thought stationery was just another word for
"plain"; so this new name means "plain-cotton".   Is there anything
wrong with just cotton and linen?

	Pete/All,

	 

	Do I just need to add "stationery-cotton" to the media type name
list in MSN2?

	 

	Do we want this generalized (stationery-fabric?) or list other
materials, e.g., linen?
