This would have to come from shared-mime-info, where the mimetypes are defined. 

I'm not sure most users would be interested in that though, for all practical purposes what matters is the extension, (automatic content-determination), icon and associated application :)

Anyway, please report upstream at freedesktop.org, in the shared-mime-info product.
