> Wine really shouldn't associate with html/xml...

It does so for a (great) convenience, to allow wine apps to open html pages
(and also http: links) in native browser.

The association itself is not bad... there are many scenarios where association
with winebrowser is desirable: mail client opening attachments, P2P like
uTorrent or Soulseek opening downloaded files, etc.

The problem is only when winemenubuilder creates *native* associations for
these too. There should be a way to tell winebrowser not to publsh imported
extensions... hence my suggestion for a WineImportedExtension prefix to the
classes.

If you find current behavior is problematic, can you please confirm or vote
this bug?
