HFS 400K disks have less free space on them.  I don't know about you, but
every K counts on those disks.  Besides the HFS ROM makes no real distinctions
about MFS and HFS disks (except for the extra pixel in the window).  User
interface is preserved - directories still are fake on the MFS and if copied
to HFS will mkdir them and fill them as you expect.

If the fact the HFS is the 'option' on Initialize Disk - it is true it is
documented that disks greater than 800K get HFS unless you optionally 
pick the other.  That seems like 'option' to me!
