My initial response was only to Riki. This one is to the whole list

For the record, the particular .plantuml file *could* be a html_table,
because it has HTML table data embedded in it. So, I'm not sure I'd call it
a bug in that library. It's trying to guess, and it's doing a pretty good
job.

The bug (to me) is that LyX is giving priority to the magic detection
(guessing) over the actual filetype, defeating the rule.

I would think that it should trust filetypes that have defined rules first,
then use magic if it doesn't know the file type.
