I.. don't even know what to say. If they are invalid PNGs then they should not be a child of image/png. However they shouldnt register the *.png glob either as a glob implies "You can somewhat safely assume such a file is of this mime type". With that said, I don't think such a mime type has a place in freedesktop.org.xml: - It's not an officially recognized mime type in any way - It's was likely originally intended to be a valid image/png - It's an implementation-specific bug/workaround/detail - PNG is a massively popular file format, who the hell thought this was a good idea? 2c J.
