I'm hoping to move over to the xdg MIME data on the 2.6 time frame.
Problems in intltool (bug #127218) are preventing it from making a
release of the shared-mime-info, but I'm going to improvise something
tonight.

Please start translating it.  Also, there was some discussion on
xdg-list about normalizing the strings a bit.  You might want to keep an
eye on that.
