[news.eclipse.platform] file extension collisions

In our product we have a file type that has a file extension of '.pm'. I notice that the Perl plug-in uses this same extension and EPIC Perl plug-in and is validating our file (which is unrelated to anything Perl) and puts problem markers on it. Am I correct that a plug-in shouldn't be validating a file unless it first checks its content type or if it is found in a specific context (e.g. Java files don't seem to be validated if they are not found in the source classpath)? Are there documented guidelines/rules on what plug-in authors should be doing to avoid this? Thanks.
