[Portland] Duplicate MIME registration

[Whipple, Tom]

Hi all,

I am wondering what the use case is for the situation where a MIME type
is registered, and is then registered again in duplicate. 

There is a similar situation for installing icons in the desktop or
menus.

My thought is that duplicate entries should be detected and the second
registration attempt should be silently accepted, rather than allowing
duplicate entries into the MIME database or onto the desktop.

What do others think?
