Here's the relevant thread between Hub and I on this topic:

  http://www.abisource.com/mailinglists/abiword-dev/00/January/0254.html
  http://www.abisource.com/mailinglists/abiword-dev/00/January/0305.html

Is there consensus that Hub can go ahead and register something like the
following creator/filetype combinations with Apple?

  ABIW/ABW for AbiWord documents
  ABIW/zABW for compressed AbiWord documents

PS: Some of the XP issues from earlier in that thread still need to be
addressed, but that's a separate discussion.
