I made a change recently (which is now a bit outdated) meant to make
nearly all MIME types of applications conform to a specific style, in
order to avoid having developers memorize them. I do think that the way
they're styled currently is inconsistent and doesn't make sense sometimes.
How did you pick that specific style? If we change them we may as well try
to follow the current best practices in MIME types. For example, apparently
the x- prefix is deprecated.
However I'm still unconvinced this is worth changing for existing apps.
You never know where these types could have been used (in user's FileType
associations, in other apps, in launch server jobs, ...) so migrating them
has a rather high risk of breaking things.
