Ah, right, xdg-mime looks at /usr/share/applications/defaults.list, and
how this file is updated actually depends on the distro. This is
unfortunately not covered by any spec.

That being said, xdg-mime should probably fall back to looking at the
content of /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache and take one .desktop
file from there if the mime type is present in there.

This is https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31629

Cheers,
