Which magazine/edition uses the triangle note head for palm muted notes?

In the newer issues of Gitarre&Bass, they use often the triangle note 
head for palm mute, but if I recall it
right, this depends on the author and the style of music - the jazz and 
traditional rock transcriptions use
the p.m., whereas actual stuff from the heavy fraction uses the triangle.

I have to admit that this is kind of a personal preference, but anyway 
.... if one doesn't want to use it,
he needn't to.

For guitaristis it surely will be valuable to have such a snippet so it 
would be great if you can create one.

Thanks for your efforts!
