>What about Paul's suggestion to use three characters of the subtype to indicate the standard categories? This could be refined to specify that subtypes starting with three lower case characters are reserved by Apple to indicate the generic categories, and then each manufacturer could create more than one variation for each standard effect. subtypes with an upper case character in any of the first three digits would indicate an AU which is not conforming.

Personally I like B.J.'s suggestion better. People are bound to get it wrong doing this split-function 4-byte ID thing, and I doubt that most people will even be utilizing the standard effect type thing anyway, so I think it's best to have it be a separate property, for those effects that want to conform to a standard type.

I second that motion...
