Yeah, I know its TIFF - but ask Canon. But AFAIK the second line 
is really unique and not part of a standard TIFF. Today there is 
already a (wrong!) CR2 magic as part of
http://websvn.kde.org/branches/KDE/3.5/kdegraphics/kfile-plugins/raw/x-image-raw.magic?rev=438982&view=markup
But this file is installed in share/config/magic/ and so it does 
not take part in the MIME magic game. By now every CR2 file is 
handled as TIFF and shows a wrong file size and only 
uninteresting meta tags. I have witten a new 'kfile_rawimage' and 
'rawimagethumbnail' plug-in that shows for photographers the 
interesting stuff. Please look at
http://forum.ebv4linux.de/viewtopic.php?p=4586#4586

But for showing CR2 metatags I need this MIME magic defined 
_before_ TIFF and I dont want to copy a new central file as of a 
small kfile_plugin distribution.
