You mean a type we know nothing about? Return a MIME info with that type, and our best guess at the extensions for it. Since we know nothing about those, the only thing we can put in there is 'someExtension'.

For what it's worth, I started a tryserver build that should hopefully have xpcshell packaged; I'll report on the outcome once it's built. There's also been discussion about shipping test packages in addition to the existing tinderbox packages, I think.

I guess my point was that a series of tests based on past bugs that are now fixed might be a better way to ensure coverage of those particular issues than just a single exhaustive test based on reverse-engineering the current code. That is, we want both: an exhaustive test, and individual regression tests.
