While looking over the registrations, I noticed that it is required to provide Mac OS File Type codes. That is all well and good, but Mac OS File Type codes are so 1993. I mean, literally **1993**. Mac OS X has been using Uniform Type Identifiers since 2001. How do people feel about updating the registration template to include Apple Uniform Type Identifiers, and hopefully also to remove Mac File Type codes? Thanks, Sean
