when I had to add the CMake mimetype they were very cautious about that. KDE
and FDo share the mime database so they won't accept that (which I
understand because it's not even a file, just a workaround for a missing

I wonder if that would be possible, in the document controller we have stuff
like:
d->documents.contains(url)

that would make it impossible to have the diff+text document opened, for
example.
