Summary: non-standard types in mimetypes.py
Initial Comment:
In the spirit of "be liberal in what you accept", I
think mimetypes should have an option which searches
non-standard but common types. E.g. I just received an
email message which had a content type of image/jpg and
I wanted to store that in a file with the proper
extension. But mimetypes couldn't give that to me
because image/jpeg is the official type.
Attached is a patch to add an optional "strict" flag to
guess_type() and guess_extension(). strict defaults to
1 to keep the current behavior. Set it to 0 and some
additional types are searched. I added back the
non-standard types that Martin removed in revision 1.19
of the file.
This patch also contains a small improvement to the
command line options when this is run as a script. I
can split the patch into two parts if necessary, but I
don't think it is.

Thanks, I'll check this in, as well as a unit test and
documentation updates. I've also integrated the rejected
types from patch #438790.

Sounds good to me, assuming it is also accompanied by a
documentation change. You may also consider adding the types
I rejected from #438790, in particular image/pict, text/xsl
and text/xul (not sure whether any others were rejected).
Back to Barry for checkin.
