We don't really want to expose all the details of the underlying
implementation since the registry can also be used programmatically.
It's certainly possible for model A's editor to define extension points
specific to your editor that are then used by model B and model C to
augment editor A... It sounds like you're trying to generalize this
though. I'm not sure what specifically to suggest...
