Yes, this sounds like a good idea.  We already have too many ways to
customise this stuff.

`auto-mode-alist' is used for file-ending-based discovery, and
`mailcap-mime-data' (etc.) is used for MIME-based decisions.  The latter
would make more sense in eww, but I don't think anybody has been
maintaining that much.  For instance, `doc-view-mode-maybe' is not a
default there, which it should be.

Perhaps we need a MIME type to file ending map.  :-)
