A format that's not describable with a schema?

I've not seen something that's so funky you couldn't write a schema for it.

That's where most of the deserialization work will be done. It's
effectively just a SAX handler.

I'm pretty sure the support added in 2.4 for content types should
suffice. You can look in the XMI plugin.xml's registrations for Ecore
and EMOF content types as an example. This idea is basically to
associate a content type with the namespace of the root element and then
to register a content_parser against that content type. You'd still
need to list which extensions to consider for content type matching if
you use the Eclipse platform's content type registration mechanism. In
any case, you should be able to accomplish anything by adding your own
ContentHandler to the URIConverter's list of ContentHandlers.
