It is highly probable that nonstandardized MIME types associated with widely used file formats will become
registered in the near future. The application/x-dvi represents device-independent documents, which is not a
standard. The MIME type of LaTeX files, application/x-latex , is not standardized yet either, similar to the widely
adopted media type, application/x-shockwave-flash used for Adobe Flash. The application/x-rar-compressed
MIME type of RAR archives are also still not standardized.
