> Right now, provides() only supports the content types declared via registerType() if they're selected using the shortcut names used in main.js (or render.js in trunk). Without a list of those "laying around" a developer will likely submit a raw MIME Type vs. using the shortcut name.
> For example,
> provides("text/calendar", ....);
> currently fails because you need to use:
> provides("ics", ....);
> More people know about "text/calendar" than will know to guess the shortcut name.
