When does this bug get fixed in Apache?
Please let make the patch proposed above into the trunk as soon as possible.
All major browser vendors (except Microsoft) did do their homework and did
adjust the new MIMEType for JavaScript/ECMAScript.

You ask why new conflicts are problems but not existing ones.

The other conflicts are problems too. But when you have a conflict you need to
make a decision about which type wins. Absent a very compelling argument
otherwise, it is clear that an existing type/language should win out over a new
one to prevent breaking sites that rely on the existing extension.

A very compelling argument would be, for example, concrete evidence showing that
.es is very-widely used for your type and almost never used for the language.

(In reply to comment #3)
> The extension .es conflicts with existing language extension for Spanish.
> We will use .ecma instead.

The extension .pl for perl files also conflicts with existing file extension for
polish, .pl. Other existing conflicts may exist. We deal with such conflicts
since years...

My question is: why does this conflict seem to be a problem *now*, but the other
existing conflicts (e.g. .pl file extension vs. polish language extension)
don't? Why using .ecma instead of the RFC-proposed .es and leave the other
conflicts untouched?

Is there a possibility to let check apache, if the last file extension is one
for content negotiation or the "normal" file extension? If such a possibility
theoretically exists or could exist, I propose, it should be implemented into
apache to avoid such conflict situations in the future. What's your opinion
about that issue?
