I've thought of this before... but it's difficult.  Realize that sendfax 
accepts multiple documents:

  sendfax -d number file1 file2 file3

And so it would need to be some kind of filename modifier to accomplish 
this:

  sendfax -d number -type=ascii file1 -type=msword file2 -type=pdf file3

And this vastly increases the complexity of things.  I'd be more 
inclined to teach typerules how to use the system 'file' command if it 
is present.
