Actually it wasn't necessary anymore since I fixed KMimeType::findByURL after that mail :)

It's only for KMimeType::findByURL, i.e. the mimetype determination that happens
before hand - before starting to download the URL, and to know which application
(from minicli) or which viewer (from konqueror) to use. The above will make sure
that data URLs are always opened in kate/katepart.
I guess "not work correctly" was due to kmimetype, does it work better now?

Yes, it means "no idea about the default mimetype before hand,
start downloading the url and you'll see".
