istream support in the iv plugin would be useful for it's own purpose as it'll open the door to http and compression support out of the box. > Anyway, why these aliases should not be automatically in plugin's extension > support list?

It's you proposing to use an alias for an non supported extension... The OSG itself is maintained to keep the the Registry inbuilt aliases and the plugins consistent. If you add extra aliases then for own plugins then it's your responsibility to keep the consistent. FYI, if you really want to try forcing a plugin to handle extensions it was never designed to handle you could try loading the plugin and then calling supportsExtension on it. Robert.
