9.7.1 Registration of media type handlers with desktop entries
--------------------------------------------------------------

Packages shipping an application able to view, edit or point to files of
a given media type, or open links with a given URI scheme, should list
it in the ‘MimeType’ key of the application’s Note: desktop entry.
For URI schemes, the relevant MIME types are ‘x-scheme-handler/*’ (e.g.
‘x-scheme-handler/https’).
