Actually I see a reference to "text" in the latest openbase documentation
even though it doesn't appear in my OpenBase Schema Editor. So I suspect
that it probably IS correct to use "text" instead of "object." I'm
guessing it's a new data type that wasn't originally around.
I uploaded a types.xml file to the RFE on openbase that does use text.
