I think it might have advertised that it can handle files which are
missing their type/creator codes or something.

Sounds like OmniWeb wasn't being a good Mac citizen and setting the
type/creator codes on the files it downloads. I think we've fixed this
for some more specific file types in beta 7 (possibly including jpeg
images), but what we really need to do is ask InternetConfig for that
information. (I started working on this in beta 5, but then Public Beta
hit and I've been busy making OmniWeb stable again. Now that things have
settled down a bit I should be able to look at this some more.)
