The MSDN lists the following :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnwmt/html/mime.asp


.asf    video/x-ms-asf
.asx    video/x-ms-asf
.wma    audio/x-ms-wma
.wax    audio/x-ms-wax
.wmv    video/x-ms-wmv
.wvx    video/x-ms-wvx
.wm     video/x-ms-wm
.wmx    video/x-ms-wmx
.wmz    application/x-ms-wmz
.wmd    application/x-ms-wmd

Not listing those files in the default apache (both 1.x and 2.x) configuration
files leads to a lot of problems with standard-compliant browsers like Mozilla
because Mozilla innocently believes what's sent in http-header. Because MS IE
doesn't adhere to the HTTP standard (that http header has the ultimate authority
in the type determination) and relies on 'MIME type sniffing' and file
extensions, a number of ignorant web masters fail to add them.  

What I'm writting here isn't likely to convince Apache developers to add
non-IANA-registered MIME types however widely they may be used. So, I'm now
thinkining as to how to add them to the IANA registry.
