I noticed LDraw hasn't have very 'official' mimetypes yet. It's only mentioned on a page from the old site:
http://www.ldraw.org/reference/specs/mimetypes.shtml
And the mpd one is different from the one the Linux version of LDView defines. This while the LDView package (I assume) is more common then the suggested Apache settings.
I think we sould therefore make the LDView ones official and maybe add one for the dat's although .dat is a very commen extension.
This gives:
ldr -> "application/x-ldraw"
mpd -> "application/x-multipart-ldraw"
Or should we go with a single mime type e.g. "text/x-ldraw" as the extension alone does not determine the nature of a LDraw file anyway. This would break the LDView packages though but I think it's the only software out there using it at the moment.
edit: Might be better to go just with "application/x-ldraw" for all extensions and 'depreciate' the "application/x-multipart-ldraw" one.
