For the third question, pure-extension is less than sufficient: In
the case of .html files, for instance, the user must either view
every file -- even the ones he is writing -- in a browser; or edit
every file -- even the ones he downloaded for reference -- in a text
editor.
I don't understand your rant. The above problem is clearly
addressed in Mac OS X: you can specify for each and every single
file in the Finder which app shall open it, no matter what the
standard app for this file type is. I.e. metadata as you call it is
applicable; it's just that this is determined by explicit user
action, and not by the - IMHO stupid - automatism that it always
will be the app that the file was used with the last time.
