According to http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Custom_Libraries

« Inventory type is what tells the viewer which 
sort of icon to show next to the inventory item's 
name. »


It also controls the variable part of the 
contextual menu ("Open", "Wear", "Attach", 
"Play", "Teleport") and which editor to use.
