MimeType.getDescription() often returns nothing when "tika-mimetypes.xml" has a
useful description already available.

Key: TIKA-515
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-515
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 0.7
Environment: ALL
Reporter: Miroslav Pokorny
The reader that reads the XML and builds MimeTypes seem to be hard coded to the
read only a single element when another is often used to hold
descriptions/comments..
String COMMENT_TAG = "_comment";
MimeTypesReader.readMimeType(Element element) throws MimeTypeException {
if (nodeElement.getTagName().equals(COMMENT_TAG)) {
type.setDescription(
nodeElement.getFirstChild().getNodeValue());
--xml sample #1--
<mime-type type="application/msword">
<alias type="application/vnd.ms-word"/>
<comment>Microsoft Word Document</comment>
notice "comment" not "_comment' element...
Why not simply rename all "_comment" tags to _comment and update the constant
and all will be well.
