In KDE (3.2) we use inheritance for that. We would create an image/pjpeg type 
that says "I'm also image/jpeg" and then when you feed  image/pjpeg in the 
trader, it will automatically come up with applications that can open 
image/jpeg.

Syntactically it might be nicer to do it the other way around and let 
"image/jpeg" says "I'm also known as image/pjpeg", you wouldn't need to 
duplicate the description (+translations) of image/jpeg for image/pjpeg then.

Cheers,
Waldo
