Currently, all mime-types are maintained in a central location.  This
means that a system does not need to have a package like OpenOffice
installed in order for another package (say, Apache) to know how to
make associations based on file extensions.

Most of these types (all but the "oasis" ones) were, I believe, already
present in the latest release mime-support package.

    It seems that anything people have learned prior to puberty takes on the
  status of an immutable truth (this is something well understood by parents,
    governments, and religions). Rational explanations of why some previous
    belief might be incompatible with the behavior of nature, and a careful
       explanation of the actual behavior of nature are of little avail.
