Re: getting access to a self-invented option?

[Tim Cross <theophilusx@gmail.com>]

Could you just use a tag for this? My shallow thought is that if you
tagged headlines, over time you could use different tags for different
content type whereas if you use a new custom type, you would need to
repeat the definition process (whatever that might be) every time you
discovered a new required type. This would also enable you to benefit
from some of the other nice attributes of tags, such as inheritance.
