We don't try to keep all possible extensions in our mime.types 
file - rather, we list most popular file extensions there. If 
needed, the list can be easily extended locally.

Both "appcache" and "manifest" extensions doesn't seem to be 
defined by any standard (or at least convention).  And the 
"manifest" extension seems to be widely used for other things.

As far as I understand, no MIME type yet registered for WOFF2, and 
once registered, it's likely to be font/woff2, not 
application/font-woff2, see current working draft at 
http://www.w3.org/TR/WOFF2/.

Not sure if we should add anything beyond woff (and woff2 once 
registered).
