I agree.

*please please please* do not abuse mime types for something they were
not invented.  MIME types are something that is officially defined.  You
can invent new ones and then request them.

But don't just hack around problems by "inventing" mime types you're
never going to use anywhere else.  Just as nautilus maintainers quarter,
maim and drag you through the GUADEC main conference hall when you
invent Yet Another URI namespace "because it looks cool in nautilus".

Other than that, you're completely spot on IMO.
