Hmm, indeed. I'm actually not sure if we can do this at all this easily
as KMimeType won't know about custom mimetypes. So I guess we'd have to
add our own custom mimetype for kdelibs/mimetypes/kde.xml, I'm just not
sure how the general position with core-devs is about adding a mimetype
there that won't ever get into the fdo shared-mime-info... 

I suggest to ask kde-core-devel how we should go about this, that is how
a url/filename could be created that matches our home-grown mimetype
such that our documentcontroller will know what kind of document to
create. 

If thats not possible, we'll have to extend our documentcontroller to
allow more direct creation of document instances...
