> The reader that reads the XML and builds MimeTypes seem to be hard coded to the read only a single element when another is often used to hold descriptions/comments..
> String COMMENT_TAG = "_comment";
> MimeTypesReader.readMimeType(Element element) throws MimeTypeException {
>                 if (nodeElement.getTagName().equals(COMMENT_TAG)) {

> --xml sample #1--
> <mime-type type="application/msword">
>     <alias type="application/vnd.ms-word"/>
>     <comment>Microsoft Word Document</comment>
> notice "comment" not "_comment' element...
> Why not simply rename all "_comment" tags to _comment and update the constant and all will be well.
