The "weight" attribute, introduced in 6.9 version: http://bits.netbeans.org/6.9/javadoc/org-openide-filesystems/apichanges.html#MultiFileSystem.weight does not seem to have any effect between layers of multiple modules. I thought I will find info about "weight" attribute in ParsingLayerCacheManager, but the whole package is silent about that. That seems clearly wrong. Just add new test to XMLFileSystemTestHid, that will check that the behavior of plain XMLFileSystem and core.startup's BinaryFS are the same.
Have test passing for XMLFileSystem. Still trying to figure out how to do it for ParsingLayerCacheManager.
