Hi all

Dann (see below) had a query about the MimeType objects returned by 
NavigatorPlugins.mimeTypes. Does anyone here have any advice about dealing with 
those?

Hi Chris,

It was lovely meeting you at FITC and sitting next to you over speaker's dinner.

Here's that page I mentioned that has external links which now go to a domain 
squatter: 
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/NavigatorPlugins.mimeTypes

In Chrome, at least, those mime type objects behave in a terribly strange 
fashion. I haven't found anyone who can describe it sensibly, but they seem to 
generate a new object on every access, which means if you're trying to walk the 
tree without going in a loop you'll have to write a special case for them, 
because there's no way to detect that you have seen it before.

I'd love to get the straight dope from the horse's mouth though, so if you 
learn anything interesting about them please do pass it along!

Thanks,

Dann Toliver
