Thanks Ira,

I believe you mean it "would not break" 

I am still uncomfortable with "ordinary-cotton paper" but most people (users, developers, etc) should understand with little or no confusion.

Hi Glen,

The term 'stationery' in DPA/PWG/JDF means ordinary paper.

It can have suffixes like '-cotton' or '-linen'.  Adding cotton and linen
as top media type values would break compatibility (because suffixes
are automatically stripped in the matching rule).

Cheers,
- Ira
