Bug 16495 introduced MIME type application/x-msi.

But in shared-mime-info-0.51, application/x-msi also includes generic
OLE magic, which is even longer that generic OLE match included to
application/x-ole-storage, but which is still not MSI specific and
matches for many Microsoft Word documents.

That is why I propose to remove this magic. See bug 16495 comment 9 for
patch.

Alternative solutions, which I cannot provide, because I have no
specifications:

- Create a real MSI specific match.

- Move this magic (or its longer substring) to application/x-ole-
storage.

Yes, this MSI magic is definitely wrong. I have a .dot file here (a
msword template), which matches this magic. So obviously it is not
specific to msi files.

Aren't msi files always called *.msi anyway? I don't think this magic is
really necessary - especially if it matches non-msi files.

The test suite in fdo shows the issue, btw:

This makes ole-storage magic work again, which triggers bug 18109 in the
xdgmime code, but at least the spec is correct now for dot/doc/msi/ole-
storage.
