I wrote: I suspect that the reason that midi has never been registered is that there is no official body in control of it. Well, I was wrong about that: http://midi.org So I guess that audio/x-midi existed before they did. FWIW nobody has registered audio/flac either. Firefox recognises both audio/flac and audio/x-flac so maybe that's true of midi. Browsers - Firefox certainly - will try and make sense of misconfigured media types. The problem here was a valid, usable, but wrong mime-type - text/html.
