    Krishna, the "net types" in `default_nettype are not the data types, but
    are the object "kinds". They are independent or orthogonal to the
    data types. They are not user defined, and the work being done in this
    group doesn't change that.

    Since users cannot create new net types (i.e. "kinds" in the nomenclature
    being used in this group), there is no facility for doing this themselves.

    How few you think would be interested in it may depend on what customers
    you have been talking to.
