Nick Burch commented on TIKA-1012:
----------------------------------
The <_comment> tag comes from the freedesktop format, so I don't think we
should change it. See
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xdg/shared-mime-info/tree/freedesktop.org.xml.in
for example, _comment is used in there, and changing Tika would likely confuse
other people used to the file spec.
Would you be able to re-do your patch leaving things as _comment? I think
otherwise it's good to apply, so if we could get it soon then we can hopefully
sneak it into 1.3!

> Currently the MimeType class exposes a description (_comment). It would be
> nice to also expose:
> * Acronym (this is already in tika-mimetypes.xml, see <acronym>BMP</acronym>)
> * Links, add helper docs for some formats
> * UTI, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Type_Identifier
> A sample entry would look like this:
> {code:xml}
> <mime-type type="image/x-ms-bmp">
> <alias type="image/bmp"/>
> <acronym>BMP</acronym>
> <_comment>Windows bitmap</_comment>
> <_link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMP_file_format</_link>
> <_uti>com.microsoft.bmp</_uti>
> <magic priority="50">
> ...
> {code}
