Would that be my answer? This depends on what you want to have happen. If you want all files, when selected, to prompt the user to save them to disk, you'd use the application/unknown MIME type. If, on the other hand, you want the browser to decide what the appropriate action is, you'd use the MIME type appropriate to each file.
