I recalled a problem of not accepting drags to the dock icon when  
public.plain-text was declared with the wildcard document, but I was  
hoping public.data would work correctly (and I'm pretty sure I tested  
it...but not on Tiger).  It figures.

Yeah, this sucks for compatibility, but hopefully it will all be a

NSDocumentController's type handling to be confusing with the mix of  
extension, HFS type, and named document type.
