Types of elements defined by the Standard. #2

Below is a tentative list of what elements should be defined in the Standard. This list is not exhaustive (this is just the beginning and I expect that there are more elements added). Also I am not sure whether it is better to have both Multipole (which has zero length) and ThickMultipole (which has non-zero length) or just have a Multipole element that can have zero or finite length. Similarly, Collimator and Mask could be combined into one element. Any thoughts on all this is appreciated.

ACKicker            "Time varying kicker."
BeamBeam            "Colliding beam element."
