Comment:
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 accurate mapping of extension to MIME type within our code because
those types change and new types are added with some frequency. As a matter
of practicality file extensions should be acceptable tokens for the "accept"
attribute in order to make it useful.
