Yes, one could add further mime types as in the above link. But these file
types do have mimetypes that start like the old ppt, doc, etc. types, so I
reasoned that (1) they are very old and nobody has had any problem with them
yet, and (2) the Microsoft tools may manage to open them anyway since the
format might be compatible. If there are similar problems in these cases, one
could of course use other mimetypes here as well.

For these specifically Microsoft-related issues, it might also be possible to
use the infamous application/octet-stream as a default. This should at least
prevent any renaming, and may suffice to let the operating system apply some
more brains to figure out what the file is supposed to be.
