       Why do you think mime types are a mess? IMHO it's the only way to
       reliably tell the file type without analyzing the file itself. With one
       letter item types you won't get very far. Especially if you're
       restricted to 7-bit ascii or even any 8-bit encoding.
       
       I wonder what would happen if we added a m item type (as in mime-type)
       which has an additional TAB mime-type added at the end of the line. How
       many clients would break?
