The language definition lists 'mtml' as an extension for MT templates  
and the file templates all have 'mtml' as their extension. Anything  
else?

At the very least, the input field for typing the scope could provide  
an autocomplete for listing the recognized (but unused) scopes. It  
could also indicate which bundle the scope comes from. Ie, upon  
typing "entity.", I would see a drop down list showing (among others):

	entity.name
	entity.name.tag (HTML)
	entity.name.tag.mt (Movable Type)
