[Bug 11482] Requiring MIME types like application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document in order to allow a .docx file to be uploaded is far too technical for the layman. On the other hand it is equally impractical for web developers to keep an from bugzilla@jessica.w3.org on 2011-10-14 (public-html-bugzilla@w3.org from October 2011)

Another problem is that file extensions are not platform-independent. In
particular, the web platform does not really have knowledge of them (except in
one or two places for legacy reasons).

Also, comment 5 is not addressed yet.
