Cool! It should even be pretty easy to do this (once we cleared that
question) :-)

If 2) and 3) would only contain the extra types if there are any
additional attributes, I think I would tend to 2). Otherwise, I find 1)
the best, since I don't really care where those attributes come from.
If I think about another type, like text files, I think I also would
prefer 1) over 2), but it's probably something you'll have to try and
see for yourself.
