xdg-mime is a pile of shell scripting garbage. And it probably just shows the mime-type guessed from the suffix.

There's a test suite in shared-mime-info, details of which are explained in the HACKING file.

I'll repeat it once more though, WebKitGTK seriously needs to stop using shared-mime-info to detect whether files are one type or the other. Or somebody needs to take all the internal html pages and add them to the shared-mime-info test suite so it doesn't regress.
