Updating SAMP MTypes

Hi all,

I have slightly modified the SAMP MTypes page (
http://www.ivoa.net/cgi-bin/twiki/bin/view/IVOA/SampMTypes ), adding an
optional 'name' parameter for the messages 'table.load.votable',
'table.load.fits' and 'image.load.fits'.

This parameter is for display only, allowing applications to give a
sensible name in their GUI to the image/table they have loaded from a
SAMP message. It differs from the table-id/image-id parameter which is
used to identify and refer to a given piece of data.

Has anyone an opinion on this change ?

Cheers,

Thomas
