Let's propose some more:
	binary		Archimedes encoded binary
	source		Archimedes (encoded or plain) source

I feel at least "binary" is necessary. As an Electron user, i *do* like
to read most articles about the Arc, but i can't do anything with those
binaries, so i just don't want to see them.

So PUHLEEEEEEZE, it's so simple. They're quite boring to read :-).

When posting 8-bit sources or binaries, better mark them just "8-bit".
I certainly wouldn't want to miss those...!
