This isn't about tcp/ip, but someone in this group must know this...

The specifications of an ethernet frame in 8802/3 standard (5th 
printing, May 1988) and the one in Comer's book (Internetworking
with TCP/IP, 2nd ed (1991)) differ.  My question is, why the difference,
and what happens to the type field in the 8802/3 version?  Comer 
lists all these types for different kinds of potential data...
do those go away?  How are types distinguished?
