Swish-e doesn't index Word or PDF documents in their original formats. They must
be converted to html, text, or xml. That's what SWISH::Filter does, for example.

So the same ranking strategy applies. SWISH::Filter (for example) assigns
<title> and <meta> where it can for things like PDF and MS docs.
