I had the same experience when adding a language definition for SX uC  
assembler. And if you make up your own, downside is that you will also  
need to add syntax highlighting to all themes you use.

Since I am not intending of making mine public, I kind of went  
backwards: In the preferences I looked how the various scopes were  
highlighted, and picked based on that, adding ".assembler" to all. I  
still had to make up a few to get the highlighting balanced. I am sure  
the language police would object strongly, but it works fine for my  
purposes.
