## UTI

The UTI would conform to `public.utf8-plain-text`
The UTI shall conform to `public.utf8-plain-text`

The domain "utis.cc" has been acquired for this (until mid-2026 for now). Thomas Tempelmann and Rich Siegel have access to the registrar login.

The subdomain still needs deciding. I've proposed:

- cc.utis.paths
- cc.utis.posix-paths
- cc.utis.file-paths
- cc.utis.paths-file

Also, once decided, we should add this to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Type_Identifier

And this document should provide the exact plist declarations for exporting the types so that everyone adopting it gets it right by simply copying them to their app's Info.plist.
The UTI for this is therefore: `cc.utis.paths-file`
