2011-10-06 Thread Nicholas Marriott

Well, we can add it to the termtypes.master file, it isn't a huge maintenance burden. Although I don't much like the diff you linked to, it would be better if the entry matched the others in the file rather than taking up about 200 lines. Most ideal would be if upstream could do whatever is
