One of our engineers is working on a new version of our spider, which will
filter many new types of documents. Here's a question from him... in case
someone on the list has an answer or knows where to get the answer.

I'm trying to figure out MIME types for the 45-odd formats that MasterSoft understands. Disappointingly, very few of them are officially registerd. Even fewer show up in the lists of common unregistered types. The question is: If these formats ever show up on the web, what MIME type will they have:
