Nope, new detection systems can tell you that a xml is for a given app
instead of just xml, or that a zip is a openoffice.org document and
not just a zip, etc. The idea of archives meaning more than just
archive is so spread in Unix that they took care of it. Visit
http://standards.freedesktop.org/shared-mime-info-spec/shared-mime-info-spec-0.13.html
and search for subclassing.
