Hi,

is there any mime type in common use for d-source files?

If there isn't any, how about "text/x-d"?

I'm no specialist on mime types, but this feels wrong intuitively.

Maybe
   text/plain;charset=utf-8 

But there are specialists for Unicode/UTF issues here in this
newsgroup, who will know what to use.

1) souce files can be utf-8/16/32.

2) As you can see in KDE/Gnome and e.g.
http://oregonstate.edu/cws/tutorials/faq/mime-types.html this kind of
definition is quite common (at least in the *nix world) for other
programming languages:
text/x-c++hdrtext/x-c++src	 text/x-java text/x-pascalThomas

3) providing a mime type can be very usefull in automated environments (e.g
version control or backup systems)

There's nothing wrong with that particular content-type.  I might prefer 
application/x-d, but that implies a working application, not source code.
