To go back on your original question which is more in line with "what to do when we get two conflicting globs?":<div><br></div><div>I think resulting behaviour should be the same as what you would do when getting two conflicting, same-priority magics. The spec doesn't seem to advocate a behaviour in this case[1]. In general, if there are conflicts, they should be solved using the priority attribute at the package level.</div>
<div><br></div><div>It would be a good idea to specify a behaviour when getting such conflicts.</div><div><br></div><div>[1] <a href="http://standards.freedesktop.org/shared-mime-info-spec/shared-mime-info-spec-latest.html#id2710814">http://standards.freedesktop.org/shared-mime-info-spec/shared-mime-info-spec-latest.html#id2710814</a></div>

Are they valid PNGs? If so, it sounds like the mime type should just be a child of image/png and drop the glob here.</blockquote></div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra">It's not clear, and I don't have one to examine. I would guess that they're not valid:<br>
<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">- The commit message where the mimetype was added described them as 'Apple broken PNGs'<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">- An Apple Q&A page says that 'Preview' (the OS X image & PDF viewer) can't open "iOS-optimized" PNGs. (Just Works</sarcasm>)<br>
