This is interesting because this review http://arstechnica.com/reviews/os/macosx-10.4.ars/11 claims that MacOS X's file typing solution UTI is better than MIME And since mac is a standard unified desktop, maybe it makes more sense to look what they are doing.

I'm wondering if we could somehow work together with FreeDesktop project. http://freedesktop.org/wiki/ They are trying to uniformize several aspects of the multitude of Linux desktops. While we aren't an X11 Linux desktop, some parts are still relevant with Haiku. For example we do have a mime db. They try to standardize that kind of stuff, and have a central repository for them. That's the example of things we could maybe work together on, without complying to every of their recommendations.
