  Right, and if e.g. the list of supported mimetypes is empty, the corresponding extractor will never be selected because ExtractorCollection doesn't know that the mimetype is supported by this extractor.
  Hence we should ensure and test imho that the list of supported mimetypes provided to the ExtractorCollection is correct for this extractor. I'm not calling for testing that the right extractor is selected.
