I'm just trying to minimize breakage.

Could you please explain in detail what gets broken here?

I've yet to hear of a meaningful 'breaking', and I'd like a concrete example.

I note in passing that we've already registered some XML-based types
with an "XML" suffix, and no problems have been reported with this
usage.
