Thank you for replies.

Yes; I'm also very interested to see unified detection, even if that
detection for corner cases shows to be wrong.

On other hand (maybe going little bit offtopic, but probably is perfect
time to ask), you (Alexander) noted that GNOME is going to use more
extension approach than mime magic checks. Why this way?

Clearly, user can fix bad detected file by changing extension indeed, 
but how often mime magic can be shown to be wrong? I.e. most of the (let say 
binary) files are distinguished by unique header and returning bad mime 
type (after magic check) is probably result that someone messed with that 
file.

Thanks; it would be really nice to see other implementations too :-)

Best,
