I would like to close the discussion if possible. Is the following hierarchy acceptable?
text/plain; charset=utf-8 text/vnd.qt.qml => a file adhering to the QML grammar/syntax .qml suffix text/vnd.qt.qtquick1+qml => .qml suffix + magic 'import QtQuick 1.' within the first 256 chars text/vnd.qt.qtquick2+qml => .qml suffix + magic 'import QtQuick 2.' within the first 256 chars text/vnd.qt.qbs+qml => .qbs suffix text/vnd.qt.meta-info+qml => .qmltypes suffix text/vnd.qt.project+qml => .qmlproject suffix It is not completely fool proof, but should work with the recommended matching algorithm, and as text/vnd.qt.qml come lexographically before text/vnd.qt.qtquick* it should be the default choice if no match happens (again in the normal case). Different extensions can be easily added in the future, and the hierarchy seems sane.

But I also agree with Lars and Alan that you shouldn't implicitly assume that a '.qml' file is qtquick. So here is my proposal: text/plain; charset=utf-8 text/vnd.qt.qml => a file adhering to the QML grammar/syntax, .qml suffix text/vnd.qt.qtquick1+qml => .qml suffix + heuristics, e.g. 'grep import QtQuick 1.' text/vnd.qt.qtquick2+qml => .qml suffix + heuristics, e.g. 'grep import QtQuick 2.' text/vnd.qt.qbs+qml => .qbs suffix text/vnd.qt.meta-info+qml => .qmltypes suffix text/vnd.qt.project+qml => .qmlproject suffix But I'm not into mimetypes at all, so maybe I understand something wrong ... (Btw, do .qbs files actually strictly adhere to the QML grammar? I remember discussions about having special syntax for it's use case, but don't know the outcome of it.)
