It's better that the plaintext one doesn't handle these, as many of these could be handled in a different situation than as plain text.

for example, you may want the css importer to just index the class/span and ID names rather than the minutia for each..

Okay, I'm confused as to the reasoning behind this, especially
considering the fact that one importer can not call on another
importer. Basically for all web scripting extensions there would be no
spotlight handler unless someone writes one, but all these extensions
are in no way special. Either the SourceCode importer or the plaintext
importer could easily handle these types.

For non-text types it's a bit more obvious that processing a DivX AVI
as a quicktime-movie might not work well, XML would also be
problematic as there is no way to discern which tags hold the actually
important strings of information. Plain-text seems like it should be a
special exception since plain text can never have anything besides
standard text and formatting.

Are we going to just have to write one large web developer importer
for php, cgi, asp, aspx, css, jsp, etc?
