No, we are in feature freeze. 

Renaming mime types has consequences. Also do not forget that KDE 3.1 has no 
isAlso property in .desktop files so that you cannot rename mime types. (That 
is mainly why it is still apllication/x-kword instead of the IANA-registered 
application/vnd.kword.)

That are parts of the things that will have to be discussed and done for 
KOffice 1.4. As we will change file formats anyway, it is even easier to 
change the mimetype.
