I like this idea. A standard reference types file could be distributed with
endote, and could be updated as necessary (like the sam virus definitions
file). The custom types should also be mappable to a standard type. Files
which use a custom type, store minimal information about the type. An alert
should be presented if that type is not present, like when adobe
illustrator encounters a missing font.
