A common MIME type sounds like a good idea. I wonder though, if it
should better include a vendor string, like text/x-vnd.perforce.jam?
BTW, you haven't by accident written a MIME sniffer rule to recognize jam
files? That would be cool, though I suspect, it's quite hard to do. Maybe
we should extend the MIME sniffing functionality in OBOS to allow
arbitrary code to be executed for recognizing a file type. But I
digress...
