Yes, but the case was about the interface behavior. When we break

That's easy. If the file starts with a single line "[notebook]" then
it is the notebook config file. If it starts with "Content-Type:
text/x-zim-wiki" then it is the data file. They both have the .zim
extension.

Yes, thank you for stating the obvious. I considered that, and I did not want to say it is impossible, but I feel it will be too messy.

The other reason is that "zim" is that application name, not the file format. If you want to discuss usability we need to separate those two concepts.
