Here i would like to discuss API of services that can be provided for mime 
types. The main use case i see is providing replacement for 
QDesktopServices::openUrl() method.

As i understood, Michael in qtaddonmimetype went a little bit beyond use case 
of providing an application for opening files and implemented API for different 
"services" - for example sending file to youtube and so on.

In my opinion we can provide 2 ways of searching service - by path to file and 
by mime type (which is determined using QMimeDatabase). We can use here native 
platform mappings from mime type to application and provide API for changing it 
too - for example register new application for opening files.

Ivan.
