Indeed, the problem I see is that Format has no way to tell you about a
file extension, mostly
because file extensions are not used at all, normally we open the file and
check the headers
to recognize a file, not look at its name.
One thing format has it's "name", but you would not get an extension, more
something
like "GeoTIFF", "DTED", "ERDASImg" and so on (I don't believe there is
any requirement not to have spaces in the name, although the practice seems
to be no spaces).
Another issue is being able to tell apart file formats from service based
readers,
such as SDE, Oracle, PostGIS and so on.
One final glitch might be dealing with single file formats vs multifile
formats.
Hmm... lots of fun it seems...
Cheers
