Hi, I am proposing an addition to the registry. This addition is for the LAS file format which is a text based format without magic bytes.
The Log ASCII Standard (LAS) files are used for borehole data such as geophysical, geological, or petrophysical logs in oil and gas wells.
The LAS file specification has been published by [the Canadian Well Logging Society] (http://www.cwls.org/las/)
I am writing a LAS package called WellLogIO.jl that will use this file format.

Note this is not for LiDAR data (also called "LAS files").

Sorry no one got back to you on this.

Without magic bytes, it's concerning to have two file formats with the same extension. If this is something you're still interested in, you might need to write a detector. The bedgraph detector is a complex example with no magic bytes but common patterns, you might mimic that?

I'm going to consider this abandoned. Sorry if the lack of response triggered that.
