there's nothing in the mimetype spec that prevents this sort of interface from 
being provided. it would just require a different view of the underlying 
data; instead of showing the mimetype->application relationships, one would 
load the database and group it by application and show it that way. 

this could even become a standard "Configure Mimetypes" bit of UI available to 
application developers that would show just one specific application. i don't 
think it would be appropriate for a top-level entry in the Settings menu 
(which is already crowded enough, and mimetype configuration isn't a common 
task), but perhaps as something that can be used in application configuration 
dialogs ....
