Extension handler "type" attribute

Question

Hey everyone,
I'm writing my first CF Builder extension, which is just some text processing that will happen in the editor on selected text.  Easy enough so far.
I just wanted to verify what the docs say about the "type" attribute of the handler tag in the ide_config.xml file:
Type:
Specifies the handler type.
The handler type you can specify is "CFM"
What this means is that my extension menu item doesn't show up when right clicking in the editor in ANY files but CFM files.  So if I want to process text in an HTML or PHP file, I'm pretty much out of luck.  This seems so short-sighted and ridiculous.  I hope I am wrong.
Thanks,
Andy

Sure, this extension is to basically add a few things I was used to in Homesite.
Here you go:
<application>
    <name>Text Processor</name>
    <author></author>
    <version>1.0</version>
    <email></email>
    <menucontributions>
        <contribution target="editor">
            <menu name="Text Processor">                   
                <action name="Convert to unordered list" handlerid="toUnorderedList">
                    <dialog
                    >
                    </dialog>
                </action>
                <action name="Convert to ordered list" handlerid="toOrderedList">
                    <dialog
                    >
                    </dialog>
                </action>
                <action name="Convert to uppercase" handlerid="toUpper">
                    <dialog
                    >
                    </dialog>
                </action>
                <action name="Convert to lowercase" handlerid="toLower">
                    <dialog
                    >
                    </dialog>
                </action>
                <action name="Strip HTML tags" handlerid="stripHTML">
                    <dialog
                    >
                    </dialog>
                </action>               
                <action name="Format paragraphs" handlerid="formatParagraphs">
                    <dialog
                    >
                    </dialog>
                </action>               
            </menu>       
        </contribution>           
    </menucontributions>
    <handlers>
        <handler id="toUnorderedList" type="cfm" filename="toUnorderedList.cfm" />
        <handler id="toOrderedList" type="cfm" filename="toOrderedList.cfm" />
        <handler id="toUpper" type="cfm" filename="toUpper.cfm" />
        <handler id="toLower" type="cfm" filename="toLower.cfm" />
        <handler id="stripHTML" type="cfm" filename="stripHTML.cfm" />       
        <handler id="formatParagraphs" type="cfm" filename="formatParagraphs.cfm" />       
    </handlers>
</application>
