I'd replace file-extension by content-type, but indeed, if we have the mapping somewhere, we can use it in the new file wizard. But that involves Platform UI providing the extension point and the wizard, and we both know that given the amount of work and resources in platform, this will become a bottleneck.

Actually, it's not necessarily a bottleneck, we can start with trying things in the e4 incubators:
* Defining content-type->newWizard extension point and registry
* Draft a proposal of a new file wizard consuming this extension
* Draft the initial proposal of showing the wizard when one opens an empty file
Then we'll be able to try various approach and migrate what's most consensual to Platform UI.
