We synced all mime types with the definitions from the Apache Web
Server. Looking at the IANA MIME type registry
http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/index.html
you can verify, that they list text/javascript as "obsolete" and
application/javascript without restriction. So from a standards point of
view it is the "right" thing, maybe not for usability?
