  ====== Implementation - MIME Info Parser ======
+ 
+ 
+ ===== Ideas for the new Implementation =====
+ 
+ ==== Requirements ====
+ The basic requirement is that the loader is able to actually load the
+ interesting data from the MIME-type files, which is:
+ 
+   * The comment for the MIME-type
+   * The sub-class information (if any)
+ 
+ Besides that, the following requirements apply:
+ 
+   - The loader should be fast and lightweight
+   - The loader should ignore unknown XML tags
+ 
+ Therefore the loader should be implemented using a SAX-style parser
+ - most probably using the GLib Markup Parser - which can ignore
+ unknown tags and use only known tags (that is ''<comment>'' and
+ ''<sub-class-of>'' elements).
+ 
+ 
+ 
+ ===== Old Implementation (from Filer) =====
  
  This is a sample implementation for a MIME Info Parser, which is used
  to load the comment for a given MIME-type, as described in the Shared
  MIME Database specification.
