Also don't forget about the CanReadFile option.  Implementing CanReadFile is by 
far the best option of them all because it will allow ParaView to always pick 
the right file without pestering the user with a chooser dialog box, which can 
be quite annoying.

Sure you have a choice. File a feature request. If you can't wait,  change the 
code. If you do, please submit a patch so everyone can benefit from your effort.

I say that when PV encounter two reader that claim same extension then best let 
user decide which he want to be use. that will be my choice... maybe I don't 
have a choice!

Precedence is based on order in the XML, last XML entry parsed gets priority  
so that plugins override the provided readers easily. In addition, readers can 
have a bool CanReadFile(); method, which gets called before the decision is 
finalized.
