Quick reference page, mail me if i am missing types.
I also have to check the references to rfcs (especially for obsoleted rfcs) and i want to add a state in the near future (experimental/deprecated etc)
grey types are experimental, red types are obsolete. (information according to IANA, with updates where i found them)
