Here is an updated version based on some feedback from david faure.
Apart from typo fixes and such the difference is:

* No magic prio 80 special rule, as this is no longer needed with the
new glob conflict resolution method.

* Renamed the glob priorities to "weight" to avoid the misunderstanding
that the magic and glob priorities are in the same global priority
scheme.

* Added description of new file formats

* Emphasizes that the icon and generic-icon data is availible in the
per-type xml file (as well as in the icons and generic-icons files)
