Now Mono-Develop used text/x-d and Pygments uses text/x-dsrc.

Yep, I chose text/x-d mainly because the type for c#-files had 
been text/x-sharp, and since there probably is no other program 
that uses .d or .di files, I kept that one :) - But yeah, define 
one and I'll take it over!
Isn't there a bigger registration process required in terms of 
ISO or such?

It can be used for debugging, tracking system calls and similar.

 dlang? x-dlang? or something like that.



 For C it is actually text/x-c on Linux, so it is tempting to
 use text/x-d. But since D isn't the god language that C is to
 Unix, and there was already another D language, I'd vote for
 x-dlang.

 1100110, does vim tell you the MIME type it thinks dtrace
 files have? If it is text/x-d, it would void this option
 anyway.



I don't know, I opened the file out of curiosity.
I don't even know how to get vim to show MIME rather than filetype.

DTrace uses .d files.

"Tracing programs (also referred to as scripts) are written using the D 
programming language (not to be confused with other programming 
languages named "D")"

The forum interface makes it look like something else but these are 
"newsgroups" which by definition uses the NNTP protocol. As far as I 
know, NNTP does not have a way of editing.

Even if it had, the clients could be configured to ignore the edit requests.

 Not for the stuff that starts with "x-" (much like http headers).



But still, we probably should aim in the longer term to get a MIME type
actually registered.

And how does one occupy a mime type?

Is there legal registration stuff to do, as I asked before? 
Anyone who knows..ah ok I'll google this.. :)

If you want it to be implemented on linux, probably ask on a
FreeDesktop mailing list, freedesktop.org maintains the linux mime
database.

On my system (Fedora 18) there's /usr/share/mime/text/x-dsrc.xml 
that contains these lines:

<sub-class-of type="text/x-csrc"/>
<glob pattern="*.d"/>

Given that this was installed by default, it seems that someone 
already made a decision on this.

Oh I see it now, I just have to run update-mime-database again.
Alright then, I'll ask them to add *.di and we are set.
