Thanks, this looks like a useful addition.  I have two questions:

- How does this compare to the work made by Juri in Bug#63911?  Could
  the efforts be merged somehow, such that the end result ends up in
  Emacs, or does that not make sense?  (I'm copying in Juri too.)

- Do you think that it might make sense to add it to GNU ELPA instead?
  I see that you're the only author, so we would only need a copyright
  assignment from you.

In case you're interested, there is also Bug#18132 where we have
previously discussed XDG and mailcap in relation to Dired.
