[Clipart] what is clipart?

[Gerald Ganson]

I believe two already in use are "outline" and "colouring_book".

The Colouring book tag comes from the once planned release of SVG or PDF
colouring books compiled from OCAL clips some day.

No, its good to debate these issues...in general we try to be style
agnostic, but adhere to our guidelines...bitmaps, if usable are to be
converted to requests, which people will hopefully vectorize...etc

Yes, the hope is with the unusable stuff, that someone will find it
useful and/or improve it...
