Well, one could do what emacs does and say that if a file starts with a 
line that says (I think) 

// -*- POV -*-

then it's a POV file.  But I'm not sure I see the need to pass these 
associations around.  Someone getting a .ron file from me can feel free 
to add their own association once they realize it's a POV file, or they
can just set the POV-language mode manually as they would now.
