On Leopard, you could give the system type and creator codes for your
files by providing a com.apple.FinderInfo xattr on your files. This,
however, won't help you under Snow Leopard, where Launch Services no
longer pays attention to the type and creator codes.  I think that, if
you want to work the same on Leopard and Snow Leopard, David Lyons's
suggestion of using the file extension is probably your best bet.
