In the GeoJSON example, I think some mime types are not correct.

application/shapefile : could not find this one
images/tiff should be image/tiff
images/svg+xml should be image/svg+xml

From French wikipedia page, it should be application/vnd.shp, English version of Wikipedia states x-gis/x-shapefile which is not correct. I'll push an update with application/vnd.shp

@fhoubie "application/vnd.shp" sounds more correct to me that the other one.

They're not hard to find - an advantage of being in a web accessible register :)

https://www.[iana.org/assignments/media-types/application/vnd.shp](https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/application/vnd.shp) - three IANA registered MIME types

application/vnd.shp, application/vnd.dbf and application/vnd.shx

I would fix it in Wikipedia, but once again they've decided to block my entire ISP - seems these days you can only edit Wikipedia if you have your own direct connection to the internet rather than a company doing it for you!
