2) 9.5 only lists jars as the pattern for input. It does not say to explicitly exlude archives of other names but it showed up in support cases as inconsistent behavior with the base tomcat and other containers when we relaxed it.

? The /WEB-INF/lib/*.jar area for Java ARchive files. These files contain servlets,
beans, and other utility classes useful to the Web application. The Web application
class loader must be able to load classes from any of these archive
files.

3) This should be something we should externalize to control alternate structure related behaviors.

4) It should be an extension of the current JarUtils suffix mapping behavior into a full file type attribute registry. Content type and other attributes like isSar, isLink, etc. could be managed from there.
