That list is in my eyes just crap when it comes to extended types, as 
any of those lines / points / polygons will only be shown if defined in 
typfile, and many others if defined too. I only don't know whether there 
are any regions that will not be shown, or only shown in Mapsource.

I don't think any 3-byte POI is shown in search, but maybe wrong on this....
