I want to add a different xml format, plist in this case, to my
controller for the create action.  Using the default scaffold, I can
handle the standard AR format.  I'd like to be able to have a post to:

POST foos/create.plist
[plist formatted object]

That means I need to parse the incoming plist and turn it into an AR
object.  That's not hard, but I'm not sure where to do it, how to
route the .plist request, etc.  Do I need to create a new content-type
handler?  Where do I access the POST data?

Right now I have some controllers hacked with plist_create actions and
I access the raw POST data in env.  I'd like it to look like this:

def create
  # This of course requires something under the covers to recognize
the .plist request and parse it into params
  # Where do I do that?
  @foo = Foo.new(params[:foo])

  respond_to do |format|
    format.plist { render :xml => some_response.to_plist }
  end
end

Thanks
