Yes, that's what I'm saying. "Then your file is broken" - means that you just
don't know what you are talking about, and don't care to try to understand.
CSVs, for instance, often have industry-specific extensions (e.g.,
marksmanship), and that isn't "broken". XML doesn't always have (and required
to have) all information required to unambiguously tell proper input filter.
"And in such cases users can always decide to show "all files" and voilà. Or
use the operating system's file browser."
Again - "I didn't read you; didn't try to understand; but am arguing!".
Choosing a filter in LibreOffice Open dialog doen't only filter files, but also
(!) tells LibreOffice which open filter (import code) to use.
