Thank you for catching my oversight!! I dug a little deeper and discovered that the popular NPM packages that make use of jshttp/mime-db rank the source of each MIME type and discard duplicates which have lower "preference". For example, the jshttp/mime-types utility does this: // source preference (least -> most) var preference = ['nginx', 'apache', undefined, 'iana'] and then discards duplicate mappings which are of lower preference. https://github.com/jshttp/mime-types/blob/eca390b71004a70f4551197638c077cdba8cf954/index.js#L155 I think https://github.com/broofa/mime does something similar. The result is that the two popular NPM utilities for getting a MIME type from a file extension (see <https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=mime>) ignore the ".org" -> "text/x-org" mapping in favor of ".org" -> "application/vnd.lotus-organizer". > So you can use text/x-org. > >> After I posted a comment on the thread, the maintainer responded: >> >>> I would suggest opening a new PR. > > I think, text/org may be added as well (without removing of > text/x-org).

The question is what is the appropriate directory. I agree that it would be good to track this information in one place so we don't repeat ourselves ;) Thanks, Joseph
