It's not really an extension per se, but if you look at preference files
they are named in a fashion that is similar to the markzware one:

com.microsoft.autoupdate.plist
com.microsoft.Entourage.plist
com.microsoft.entourage.syncservices.plist
com.microsoft.error_reporting.plist

These are Property Lists. Kind ="XML Property List File"

com.markzware.FC5.FontDBWtSys

Is a binary. The last bit isn't really an extension like .app is. It's part
of the namespace.
