So the new kugar format will be the most important format and the only in=
=20
which it can be saved.

Therefore I think that it should be in the form "application/x-vnd.kde.ap=
p"=20
(where app is the application name) like what has been registered for the=
=20
"old" KOffice applications. The old format can remain as=20
"application/x-kugar", as at the registration of the KOffice mime types i=
t=20
has been written that old format (read the tar.gz ones in this case) will=
=20
keep their old "application/x-app" mime types.

My proposal is just for consistency of the mime types of the KOffice=20
applications.

If you want to look at the registration for the KOffice mime types, look =
at:=20
http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/application/
For example KWord's is at:=20
http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/application/vnd.kde.kword
