I would be strongly against this mainly due to the fact that there is almost a 1-to-1 correspondence between having a good mime detection system, and parsing content. Tika has a fairly robust mime system based on freedesktop.org's system and I think there is value in Apache having a good mime detection system (in fact it was discussed, even before Tika's inception, to take the Nutch mime type code and turn it into a commons-* project).
