You mean formats that we currently support in the toolkit?  There aren't
that many:

* .properties - Mozilla flavour
* .dtd - also for Mozilla
* .rc - I don't think our support is good enough
* .txt - nice for doing things like mediawiki, etc
* HTML - need more work
* iCal - works well, small use case though
* INI - works well, is quite useful
* ODF - yeah baby, would love this

My priorities: ODF, (.properties, .dtd, .ini), .txt, iCal
