Hi Ross, Nick,

The problem I see is identifying the filetype, lots of (most?) xhtml
tools generate files with the .html extension so you would have to
read the file contents to identify it.  IIUC custom filetypes only use
the extension not the contents. And I expect HTML5 would have the same
problem.

Making them built in filetypes would allow the filetypes_detect_from*
functions to be extended to distinguish the filetype.

Cheers
Lex
