Just it restate it another way, KDE has a KMimeType class which is heavily 
used by our libraries and apps and we have a lot of experience in the area.  
If a QMimeType were to be added to Qt then we would be very interested in 
working together on it to share our experience and to see if it would allow us 
to drop our own implementation.

Cheers!
