</div>The good thing about mimetypes is that they're easier to expand without<br>
breaking compatibility (although, given enough time, one can always<br>
break anything).<br>

</div>The key is to grow a set of itemtypes such that clients can readily<br>
ignore everything else and just focus on what they can handle.<br>
