No. It's quite ok like this. It is in line with my vision how renderers should be made available to FOP in the future (dynamic registration like the FOP extensions). It's clear that the AWT preview doesn't manifest a certain type of file that has an officially defined MIME type. But nobody is blocked from creating a new, special one for special purposes. Only if you want to be purist about MIME types is this probably suboptimal. The MIME type is ideal for choosing a renderer. JPS, for example, works much in the same way.
