So, I take it that the 'caff' in the Tag column of the table is meant to indicate the OSType that is used to recognize that UTI?
I guess that it would be worthwhile for the CAF documentation to have the recommended tags for the CAF type as I would have never thought to look at the UTI documentation to find the recommended OSType for the file -- my expectation is that if a File Format has explicit documentation, that the documentation will include all relevant items.
I do note that all the .caf files that Apple ships have no OSType set at all.
