    Subject: RE: [emergency] <resourceDesc> (aka Issue #32)


    I think you are on to something here - we need to either change or
    clarify the word "type". Art just sent a great explanation, that helped
    me better understand what was intended. Since the word "kind" doesn't
    plug right in, how about:
    
    "The human readable text describing the type, such as 'map' or 'photo',
    and content of the resource file"
