Details:

It seems as though NSDocument on Mac OS X understands RTF, RTFD, and a few
other formats by default and lets you load those if your NSDocument subclass
doesn't override loadFileWrapperRepresentation:ofType:.

You can see this in Bean.app. (Please see the gap project under
ported-apps/Utils for the code)

Currently it is almost completely working in Gap, but it's  unable to open
and save files.... editing a new one, however, is not an issue.

On Mac OS X, this works just fine... it can load and save RTF, RTFD, etc
etc... no problems even though it's MyDocument.m doesn't  override
loadFileWrapper..., so, apparently, the implementation of that method on Cocoa
will attempt to read "known" formats.

Please let me know if you think this is correct. 

Thanks, GC
