Subject: Any use for uri/* and all/* MIME types?

Hello all.

KDE 4.x core components currently add the following MIME types to
system, among others:

all/all
all/allfiles
uri/mms
uri/mmst
uri/mmsu
uri/pnm
uri/rtspt
uri/rtspu

Those MIME types define non-standard media types "all" and "uri",
which update-mime-database complain about.

I found exactly two users of all/*: Ark and Okteta; and no users of
uri/* at all. Could those media types be dropped? I assume they are
needed for some backward compatibilty - with what? Or are they serving
some purpose still?

This question was raised in bugtracker for a few times already, but
there is no real progress yet:
