[web-nfc] Type field of Web NFC author records should be "w3.org:A" or "w3.org:a" (#308)

leonhsl has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/web-nfc:

== Type field of Web NFC author records should be "w3.org:A" or "w3.org:a" ==
The spec[ 2.4.6 Web NFC author records (TNF 4)](https://w3c.github.io/web-nfc/#web-nfc-author-records-tnf-4) says

> Uses NFC Forum external type record with the TYPE field set to "w3.org:A".

But given the fact we found at this [CL](https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/1769488/2/services/device/nfc/android/java/src/org/chromium/device/nfc/NfcTypeConverter.java#28), 

> NdefRecord record = android.nfc.NdefRecord.createExternal("w3.org", "**A**", bytesOfUrlXXX);
then record.getType() returns just "w3.org:**a**".
we need to figure out where does "w3.org:A" come from. It's from any nfc forum specs? Or the nfc forum specs have any relevant restrictions/clarification about the external record's RTD type?
