Excellent work! It's looking good already. Just a few small questions:

 * Very minor, but should the 'Details' buttons be labelled 'Exceptions'
instead?
 * How would editors be handled? I open different applications depending
on whether I want to view or edit an HTML file, for example.
 * How many MIME-type groups do you anticipate there being? Would the UI
have to have categories (e.g. 'Internet', 'Office', 'Sound & Video'), as
with the current capplet?

Thanks,

Phil
