Agreed. But it's not that important now: this code portion was a
prototype at the time, has not been used/tested for years (no Kiosk
server serving application/x-mdv-exec since Dec. 2006), and this MIME
type was created for this very use case.

Should we think about some sort of Web-based app store, we'd need to
redesign it from scratch and in a better, modular way (options are not
the same today).
