I have no strong preference here, but it could be reasonable to treat other and pnts as distinct categories.  Or both together.  Based on my understanding of demographics, it is unlikely that either (or both) would be selected for more than 8 or 9 out of 10, so while we need to write up firm rules, that would be the only reason we'd need that level of precision; it's unlikely to be a problem in practice.
