I think you're being a bit too harsh here, but I get your point.
xdg-utils is supposed to be  with freedesktop specification and because
of that use shared-mime-info-spec, point taken, will look into using it
instead of libmagic.

Let's see how it goes, even if any of the new code will not be
freedesktop compliant, this can be then changed.
