It sounds like you're making this far more difficult than needed.
If you don't want to handle documents, use a standard Cocoa
application (non-document-based). If you want to handle documents,
use a Cocoa document-based application. You don't have to implement
everything with your NSDocument subclass. Just implement what you
need to get the document opened and get at its contents the "Cocoa Way".
A more focused response, however, will probably require more
information from you as to exactly what you're doing with the
contents of these documents. If you're going to manipulate them at
all, you really should be using the document architecture and you're
only making it harder on yourself trying to short-circuit it.
Unless I've completely misunderstood your request, my advice to
you is to stop where you're at and review the document architecture,
then reevaluate your approach. This architecture practically does
everything for you when dealing with opening / manipulating documents
of any kind; it's unlikely that bypassing it altogether is the right
approach for your project.
I hope this is helpful.

The thing is that I don't want to use NSDocument at all. Is there a
way to have the file types in Info.plist (for the Finder), but not
use NSDocument, without starting a new project?
