I have created a code snippet for SSDT as described in these posts

The snippet works fine and I have created a .vsi file as described here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms242311.aspx in order to distribute the file within our development team.
As language attribute in the .vscontent file I have I have specified:
<Attribute name="lang" value="SQL_SSDT"/>
When running the vsi file I get the following error: "The .vscontent file either contains invalid attributes or specifies a code snippet for a programming language that is not installed."
I have tried several other names, but I come to the conclusion that I can't use vsi to deploy SSDT code snippets. Also the documentation states explicitly which language are supported and that is not including SQL_SSDT (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa992029(v=vs.80).aspx)
Will this be supported soon? Are there any (good) alternative ways to distribute the snippets?
