More on MIME types.

  
  === Create MIME types for sequence files ===

+ Unregistered MIME types should be registered with IANA, to make sure the name is reserved and known to everyone.  See http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/media-types.xhtml and http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/application/vnd.oxli.countgraph for an example of a successful registration related to Debian Med.
  
- With MIME types it is possible to announce file format support using .desktop files allowing desktop environment can handle such files automatically.
+ With MIME types it is possible to announce file format support using .desktop files allowing desktop environment can handle such files automatically.  It is probably also possible to announce it without a desktop file, as can be seen in the khmer.metadata.xml file in the khmer package.
  
  The MIME type should preferably be commonly known and originate from the community using the file format, to avoid several conflicting registration requests for the same format.
