Hmm.. I don't think MIME handling will be considered standardized *until*
gnome-vfs supports it ;-) Are there any major problems with the current
draft[1]? The format of the binary magic files is still undecided (so it
would be quite possible to just define it as whatever gnome-vfs is
currently using, if that's written down explicitly somewhere). I'll try to
look into it again in a few weeks if noone sends me anything for the
spec sooner.
