They are not (see platform/gtk/MIMERegistryGtk.cpp which contains the
association between extension and mime type). I would suggest adding an
entry for css <-> "text/css" after a quick look. Iit seems safe as
MIMERegistry::getMIMETypeForExtension is called only for local file but I
may have missed some issues.
