Technically KDE isn't a vendor, and it becomes murkier if three guys sit 
together and write a Qt application. What are you going to use as vendor 
string then? Perhaps we could maintain a repository on freedesktop and let 
"xdg" be used as vendor string for people that register their OSS application 
mimetypes with freedesktop.

Cheers,
Waldo
