I realise now this question was also posted to the dev list, which is
probably a better place to discuss it.

Some are given in examples on the main tool XML doc page,
https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/wiki/ToolConfigSyntax

Others I've noticed by looking at the provided XML wrappers,
and/or email list questions. For example, .ext or .extension gives
the Galaxy file type (e.g. fasta).

Other than that, I guess you can always read the code - but I
agree that a document describing this would be nice to have.
