Improve supertype handling in type registry
-------------------------------------------
Key: TIKA-308
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-308
Project: Tika
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: mime
Affects Versions: 0.4
Reporter: Ken Krugler
When processing tika-mimetypes.xml, additional supertype information should be
set so that the right parser gets called if there's no explicit parser for that
mime-type.
Jukka suggested:
The type registry could do with some implicit supertype settings like the
following (in order):
* a type with an explicit <sub-class-of/> setting is a specialization
of the specified type
* a type with parameters is a specialization of the same type without parameters
* all */*+xml types are specializations of application/xml
* all text/* types are specializations of text/plain
* everything is a specialization of application/octet-stream
