I think so, to.  Defaulting *.doc to ms-word is bad, but I see no harm 
in defaulting application/ms-word to MS Word (or something else that
can understand these files).

Could someone who uses stuff like that mail me a patch for mailcap.el?

A more sticky issue is whether to default image/* to the un-free, but
commonly installed xv, or to some free image viewing program.

What image viewing programs exist out there?

(Well, it isn't really a sticky issue, because we could default to
free programs, and then use non-free programs as the backup default
values if the free programs don't exist on the system.)
