I’m very happy to read about that, but this is not a mathematics
contest.

So I understand your answer to my question is the second option.
This is the MIME system most programs in Debian, including anything
related to GNOME, KDE, Xfce and certainly more (Firefox and rox come to

http://standards.freedesktop.org/shared-mime-info-spec/shared-mime-info-spec-latest.html
And the standard for application associations:
http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html
