Wait, does it actually recognize the format by the format _name_ used, 
and not by a mime content-type?  Like unless my unAPI server calls the 
endnote format "endnote", it won't recognize it?  That would be odd, and 
good to know. I thought the unAPI format names were purely arbitrary, 
but recognized by their association with a mime content-type like 
"application/x-
/endnote/-refer".   But no, at least as far as Zotero is concerned, you 
have to pick format shortnames that match what Zotero expects?
