If I could make a suggestion:
Since for now, we are obviously stuck with filename extensions to
determine type, what about the creator? Is apple going to expose an API
(or has done so already?) to allow access to however the Finder Get Info

least, this would give us with the functionality of a per-user creator.
It's not per-user, at least not in 10.0.4. The finder setting is put in
the resource fork.
