Another problem with magic filecontent/filetype-identification is
indexing. It´s allmost impossible to search for a specific filetype.
ie. "Search for Abiword-files", "Search for HTML-Documents"
It could be done, yes. But is is not very resource-friendly...
As I said before: Magic is no solution, its barely a hack...
