   Compared to RFC-1436 it also lacks the "+" itemtype, the "redundant 
server" item.
   How is the "w" itemtype supposed to be used?  Would this
hFloodgap.com (Web pages)	URL:http://www.floodgap.com/

appear as:

wFloodgap.com (Web pages)	http://www.floodgap.com/
?

   I cannot find the "h" itemtype defined in RFC-1436, will you please
shed some light about it?

   How tasteless!  :-)
