Hi Frank,

interesting new content provider which probably will simplify the work of extension developers a lot.

One comment from me, i wouldn't use the protocol name "vnd.sun.star.extension://<extension_identifier>/...."
I would prefer something like
"vnd.ooo.extension://<extension_identifier>/...."
or
"vnd.oxt://<extension_identifier>/...."

Maybe we can find a better name. But a short one would be nice ;-)

*Summary*
--------
+ new provider for accessing content within deployed extensions

*Description*
-------------
In CWS slidecopy, a new Universal Content Provider has been
implemented, which gives you access to any content within the package
of your deployed extension.

That is, if you have an extension/oxt containing some
relative/path/to/file content, and the id of your extension is, say,
org.openoffice.example.Extension, then the URL
"vnd.sun.star.extension://org.openoffice.example.Extensions/relative/path/to/file"
will give you access to that content.

This way, you can access you extension's package content without
actually knowing where the package is deployed, and without, at
runtime, fiddling with the package information provider, to find the
deployment location.
