Just like described in plugins/tests/ChallengeProtocolChooser.txt

See the bottom of the RequestTypeSniffer.py module.

Yes, they are on a global registry because they are global. The notion
of a request type and detecting what kind a incoming request maps to
is a global operation.

| Do you envision populating those registries via ZCML?

Yes.

FWIW, I don't expect more request types and predicates to exist other
than those that are registered already. Well, maybe a SFTPRequest, or
something like that when we change to Twisted perhaps.
