I can not say that I have consistent vision which way media type
database should be designed. It is rather close to off-topic on this
list (though `org-file-types' is a kind of override map, built-in
mailcap.el is far from being perfect, and Emacs ignores shared-mime-info
completely).
- Both fallback and override entries should be implemented.
- It seems there are differences which way custom entries should be
handled during compiling database and when an application uses third
party mappings. The reason is that version of external database may be
older or newer than version of an application. Some conflicts may cause
fatal error during compiling of database while applications have to be
more intelligent in respect to conflict resolution.
- Priorities of media type to suffix and suffix to media type may be
different.
- My impression is that multiple types may have the same suffix, so
there should be "get all media types for given suffix" method.
- It should be possible to specify priorities within the same source.
I am a bit surprised that jshttp/mime-types developers use added entries
as fallback, not as overrides for IANA, but it is their design decision.
Since it is a DB, not DB user, they can just drop conflicting entries.
Perhaps they still want to preserve ambiguous mapping of multiple media
types to the same suffix (otherwise text/x-org should be dropped due to
a conflict).

I still believe that the following behavior is preferable
- applicaion/vnd.lotus-organizer -> .org
- text/x-org -> .org
- text/org -> .org
- .org -> text/org (preferably without relying on x- heuristics)
Unless a user explicitly configured local mapping .org to
applicaion/vnd.lotus-organizer
