Chris Lambacher <chris at kateandchris.net> added the comment:

While I agree that getting .ksh is an unfortunate guess, I am not sure how you can guess in the face of many options (especially when the those options are parsed out of a mimetypes file or the windows registry). 

Perhaps there should be a "resonable_defaults" map that is checked first for very basic types where there are multiple extensions for a type?
