Shouldn't file extensions map to mime types instead of media types?

@daniel: not sure I understand the question. We have search both by mime type and media type, we don't really have search by file extension (maybe as part of title?). Unfortunately, media types used in core are kind of obscure, so we've added some aliases to map frequently used types "obvious" types to the actual obscure ones (i.e. any bitmap image is "bitmap", but people frequently search for "jpg" or "image").
