I do wish we could clean this up, but your searching is incomplete: E.g. uri/mms is used quite a lot http://lxr.kde.org/search?filestring=&string=uri%2Fmms I have no clue what this uri/ mimetypes are. all/allfiles is deprecated in favour of application/octet-stream, feel free to make patches to replace one with the other and drop all/allfiles in frameworks. all/all means "files and directories", I have some trouble finding use cases for that.... If there is, e.g. for a context-menu .desktop file, then it could simply be associated with application/octet-stream + inode/directory.
