nsIMIMEInfo extends nsIHandlerInfo with a bunch of information specific to
MIME content-types. There is a one-to-many relationship between MIME types
and file extensions. This means that a MIMEInfo object may have multiple
file extensions associated with it. However, the reverse is not true.
MIMEInfo objects are generally retrieved from the MIME Service
