Howard,

Good point. I've missed the fact the specification recognizes some 
values. Following the document, I'd suggest the following:

1. OTHER for file created with libLAS from scratch
2. MERGE for file created with lasmerge utility
3. MODIFICATION for file modified with las2las

What do you think?
