Title:
  misidentifies .html file as Perl script when it contains JavaScript
  "use strict"

Status in shared-mime-info:
  Unknown
Status in qtbase-opensource-src package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in shared-mime-info package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in shared-mime-info package in Debian:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  For .html files `xdg-mime` reports wrong type. The culprit is the
  `"use strict"` phrase which is used in JavaScript. It should not
  mistake .html files for anything else except of text/html !

  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  Run the following step by step in any folder:
  1. $ echo "\"use strict\"" > index.html
  2. $ xdg-mime query filetype index.html # -> application/x-perl - this should be text/html!

  Platform:
  Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS (Focal Fossa)"
  Linux version 5.4.0-42-generic (buildd@lgw01-amd64-038) (gcc version 9.3.0 (Ubuntu 9.3.0-10ubuntu2))

  xdg-utils: 1.1.3-2ubuntu1
