Hmm, does the highlighting not work at all now or only on declarations? If the 
latter, do you create any Uses for the uses of your variables?

The last sentence I don't quite understand. If the mime type and the ending 
matches, it should get selected unless there is a conflicting highlighter. In 
any case, highlighting set by language plugins override the highlighting from 
the XML file.
