okay

>application/x-freenet-index = .fridx

shouldn't this be .fidx !!?

i'd say to only use this if it can handle almost all indexing structures (folders, files, comments, ...)
mime-types are quasi-standards

>application/x-freenet-blob = .fblob

>A Freenet "binary blob" file. This is a collection of node-level keys,

1) what exactly does this file contain? manifests? data too?
2) please explain the different key levels!
3) why the hell "blob"?? blob is *void so use x-binary or something like that - if you want a "real" mimetype, let it have a descriptive name! bad suggestions from me: .fce "x-freenet-contentexport", .flle "-lowlevelexport", .fdp "-datapackage", .fcnc "-
cannednetworkcontent", a wild combination of these or something else, but "blob" it unnecessarily weird
