Edit Summary: Typo fix.

  Subtype is a new field as of April 2003.  It's use needs to be extended. As example of this is with all equipment items - they should get moved to be of type 'equipment', with subtype specifying exactly what it does (ring, helm, armor, etc).
  
  Note that the meaning of the subtype is specific to the type itself - they are not unique across all types.  For example, for type equipment, subtype 1 might be a helm.  But for type skills, subtype 1 might be smithery.  One should not rely on subtype to convey any meaningful information unless the type of the object is known or also examined.
  
- The question may then be asked - when making a new arch, when is a new type is needed as opposed to a new subtype?

  When to add a new type:
    - If code to support applying the object is completely different than what exists in apply.c (eg, not reusing existing functions), or
    - If code to support movement of the type does not reuse existing functions (server/time.c)
