Synopsis: mod_mime overrides content type provided by mod_rewrite

State-Changed-Why:
Yes, sure. mod_rewrite operates a lot earlier in
the processing than mod_mime, so mod_mime can change
the MIME-types you set. That's just a side-effect
of the fact that mod_rewrite is a URL translator.
That one can do some tricks by setting MIME-types
is a goody for some situations, but isn't intended
as a real MIME-type force functionality. So, I
think although it's perhaps nasty in your situation
that mod_mime overrides mod_rewrite's things, it's
correct this way. Any hacks to change this behaviour
would result in surprises by users under other
situations I think.
