The specification of what kind of file is expected to have the mimetype is 
available. So its not hard to make a file that correctly should carry the 
mimetype.

If you are saying that we still need an application to actually write it 
before the mime type should be attached to such files, well sure. Thats 
true. Similarly you could not use the png mimetype until there were 
actual applications that created the pngs. :)

Then again, lets be prepared for when kexi can export the format or when 
another app can read/write it.  Being prepared means having the mimetype 
in kdelibs as well as the icon. (Both already in place).  Which means 
nothing to be done anymore.

Cheers!
