 Actually, even apps using NSDocument should be able to open *any* file.  
It's just that the standard code for creating a document in 
NSApplication doesn't support it. Since you provide your own version of 
that code if you don't use NSDocument, you automatically get that 
feature, but there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to override 
that code and provide your own version while still using NSDocument.

Just my $0.02
