Re: [web-nfc] Add a bit more clarification about local type (#411)

> Can we explain why local types are actually a thing?

They have very little overhead. Two bytes (header plus type name length) plus the size of the type name. As the record knows exactly what they represent, no need to store mime type and the like - just store the data.

Maybe you have better ways of explaining it :)
