Here are the Ethereum objects as I have mapped them so far. While there are only two underlying structures (RLP and Eth-(Secure-)Trie), they interpret the format of the leaf values based on context, which is lost when resolving at the IPLD level. I sketched out some versions that used fewer IPLD formats by employing some cleverness in the path naming conventions. (see here MetaMask/metamask-extension#719 (comment)). The consensus was to be explicit instead of clever, thusly the list of objects as I've proposed.

I'd additionally like to reserve 0x99-0x9f for additional Ethereum objects I may have missed or may be introduced when Ethereum milestone Metropolis is released.

Going to go ahead and merge this, consider 0x99-0x9f reserved :)
