What I said was "and hint nicely". So happy to see it as the hint. That
hasn't changed, and create a registry if you so desire. I'm still not
comfortable in leading to a point where it is the
way (and it seems only way) an objects validation regime is chosen.

Rob's observation that the extension exists in the manifest file name is a
close approximation provided words exist as highlighted which gives clear
instruction to implementers as to
1) make the first approximation of validation regime on the filename in the
_manifest_
2) then try all others
3) give up.
