==The link as follows:

It would make them longer, yes. However, the idea here is only to use the
MIME type for ambiguous or unspecified types. A client that is type-aware only
uses the MIME type if it's provided, and falls back on the itemtype
otherwise.
A client that doesn't know about MIME types just sees the 9.
This would also need a server that knows the ( ) portion is a directive, not
a portion of the file selector, but that's easy enough of course.
Like I say, the idea here is not to force all URLs to look like this, but to
extend item types without actually adding any, *and* to still work with clients
and existing menus. The idea is purely facultative, not obligatory.
