Agreed. But it's not that important now: this code portion was a prototype at the time, has not been used/tested for years (no Kiosk server serving application/x-mdv-exec since Dec. 2006), and this MIME type was created for this very use case. Should we think about some sort of Web-based app store, we'd need to redesign it from scratch and in a better, modular way (options are not the same today).
