Unfortunately, the LDM wasn't designed with user-definable feedtypes in
mind.  Consequently, it's limited to the existing feedtype (one of which
is the catch-all EXP).

The next release of the LDM (version 6.4) will allow the upstream LDM to
restrict data based on the product-identifier.  This almost obviates the
need for additional feedtypes.  You can read more about it at
