Oh. Looks like I'm off the hook. The UTI, I expect, is the bundle identifier, no?

I don't think anyone actually answered this question for you. Basically no, your bundle identifier is a URI.


And to complete the answer, UTI are here to «replace» Type code, not Creator code.

Except it doesn't. As others have pointed out, you can tag a file with a type code and/or you can tag it with a filename extension. But you can't tag it with a UTI. A UTI is _derived_from_ the things it would replace. Given a naked file, you can't come up with its UTI (except perhaps in rare cases by file magic).

Thus we still need filename extensions and, I think, type codes. Which is a bit of a shame.
