I have a near implementation of the executable-handler that we discussed at UDS-Karmic. Java, Wine, et all shouldn't be opening these without execute bit "permission", however having executable-handler open them would be an acceptable default as it doesn't actually run them. Right now the current design is to scan them for viruses and inform the user what happened.
