And yet it has exactly the drawbacks you mentionned before in the same email, 
about not abusing the mimetype system ;-)

In which file exactly would you use a fake mimetypename like KDE-text/plain?
I certainly don't think this should appear in mimeapps.list nor in desktop 
files, right?
So this is only for mimeinfo.cache, or am I missing something?

About a better name than DesignedFor... UseByDefaultIn?
