nobody knows that and we're not prefixing the word "Kind" with "(n)"
welcome to english language ambiguity :)

> https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/kind#Noun
> A type, race or category; a group of entities that have common
> characteristics such that they may be grouped together

it's not what *you* intend it's what *other people read* when they
don't know anything at all (zero context)

pain in the ass, isn't it? we *really* needed an "RFC Style Guide"
