Actually, it does not seem that hard to register official mime-types.
I am currently considering to have a try to register the mime-types
for .MSA and .DIM images as a start (and if that works out fine, later
for the other disk image types, too).

A question to everybody: How should the mime-types (also called media
types nowadays) be named? My current suggestions are:

For .MSA:

- application/vnd.msa-disk-image
- application/vnd.magic-shadow-archive
- application/vnd.magic-shadow-archiver-disk-image

For .DIM:

- application/vnd.dim-disk-image
- application/vnd.fast-copy-disk-image
- application/vnd.fast-copy-dim

Any preferences or other suggestions?
