I just want that for objects types which may be ambiguous when uploaded
into Zope, i.e. DTML Documents and DTML Methods.

For Images for example, this is not necessary because the object type
is not ambiguous, and let me explain why: Some program (Zope, Apache, 
the file command, etc...) scans a few bytes at the beginning of the 
file to determine it's type (jpeg, tiff, gif, ...), which IMHO is a 
VERY strong argument to back my point !

Anyway I'm glad someone has seen the light ;-)
