I'd be quite upset if I would have a file of an unsupported type and
when double clicking I would see an application which instead of playing
the file would cry "unsupported file" (or any similar message)
So I would say that Michael is right, unsupported types should not be
registered.
And after all, what would be the usefulness of lying to the users ?
