Greetings,

I am curious about the CSL type “entry”. I notice that in the [1.0.2 spec](https://github.com/citation-style-language/documentation/blob/master/specification.rst#appendix-iii-types) there is a definition:

> entry  
> An entry in a database, directory, or catalog;  
> For entries in a dictionary, use `entry-dictionary` ;  
> For entries in an encyclopedia, use `entry-encyclopedia`

However, entry is not currently listed as available in Zotero, [per Zotero’s documentation](https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/item_types_and_fields). (which is useful because it has type definitions. )

`entry` does appear to be in the CSL spec for 1.0.1. per [https://aurimasv.github.io/z2csl/typeMap.xml](https://aurimasv.github.io/z2csl/typeMap.xml)

So, with regards to differences between 1.0.1 and 1.0.2, is there any difference in the intended semantics of what the type is supposed to represent? I don’t see any mention in [CSL 1.0.2 Release Preview for Public Comment - Google Docs](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wY1cOOamDYYh8VNW7h_uleqieBDGOa_LYsRiVdQy1RI/edit#heading=h.7r7ysbwjibnf)

It’s just missing from the Zotero documentation, which was created manually. Its absence there has no meaning nor any consequences.
