Re: W3C Working Draft: HTML predefined icon-like symbols

 One question about these predefined symbols,
<URL:http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/TR/WD-wwwicn>:

 Both &binhex.document; and &uuencoded.document; are defined.  Is
there a reason not to have a more general description, like
&encoded.document;?  I can see at least one pro and con:

	Con:  Lazy authors, or those who didn't know any better, might
	      use &encoded.document; without telling the reader how it
	      was encoded.  Also automatic directory indexing software
	      might not be as informative.

	Pro:  More general, if another encoding mechanism becomes
	      popular, another entity doesn't have to be added.  

Also, if a suitable name was chosen, couldn't encrypted documents be
described by this entity as well?
