For example:
url pattern comes handy for handling
(1) url that neither has Content-Type set by server nor
bears recognizable extension
(2) compressed content, such as *.ps.gz, *.pdf.bz2, etc.
...

Essentially a separete parsing tool will provide user the possibility
of manual intervention (as often necessary) for unknown or unforseen
content types, not to mention other benefits that come with it.
This is part of the strategy (unix way) that we all more or less agreed on,
before Doug set out to rewrote some of the nutch core.
