Re: [web-nfc] Prefixing local records with ":" would be simpler than isLocal (#501)

Right, I have overlooked that `:` is illegal starting character for local types.

However, developers might be confused with this new Web NFC specific convention. It is also confusing because `:` is a separator in external types. 

On the other hand, in a way it's a logical choice (local is like external, just that instead of the explicit domain-context we have the implicit local context).

I'd prefer using the NFC Forum standardized type names, but we could assume this as a working hypothesis.

We should make Notes about the Web NFC introduced conventions about type names and ask for developer feedback between this (the current way) or using the plain NFC Forum standardized type names (`T`, `U`, `Sp`, `act`, `etc`).
