I would say we use application/zip till we make browser plugins to
handle a mime type of our own. Otherwise the browsers will indicate that
the file is a BIN with the content type wso2mashup/zip, which is not
very user friendly.

Even when we have a plugin, shouldn't the mime type be something like
application/wso2mashup rather than wso2mashup/zip?

Yes, it would be yet another zip file, but I believe the standards
dictate the naming to be such.
