The kind property in Finder's item class contains a localised

tell application "System Events"
get every file of someFolder whose type identifier is
"public.html"
end

If you're not on 10.4, I think you'll need to make up a list of
all possible name extensions and test against that.
I assumes that what I will write now is mainly to Chris Nebel's
attention.
Just as long as you don't start referring to me as "he-who-shall-not-
be-named" in order to *not* attract my attention.
Would it be difficult to add type identifier to the properties
treated by the Finder so it would be easier to deal with this
"modern identifier" without localization oddities? With such a
formula, the localized kind would be available when localisation is
required and the universal type identifier would be available when
needed.
Is there any reason you want this in Finder specifically? Would
adding the localized kind to System Events work just as well?
