I don't know what you mean by *.deployers file name and requiring spring-deployers-beans.xml. To require exact outer element, it means it would always have to parse the file, to see what is the first element. I think the name + suffix are good enough to distinct deployment types. And with the new aspectized deployers, it's easy to swap out the behavior / add additional constraints.

Yes the plus character "+" is valid in a MIME type. I think you can always say to the parsing deployer that it should not validate. And this info should be delegated fwd.
