This list definitely isn't complete ("mips" should be "mips1",
"mips2", "mips3", and "mips4" at least), and I'm not sure where the
M6800 processor (an old 8-bit CPU) fits into the picture... ;)

I'm also confused about the use of a MIME type for the
document-format value and a keyword for the file-type value...

The policy stuff doesn't belong in the driver info - policy is
something an administrator will set, not the driver, and without
any means of authenticating that policy you're just opening yourself
for security risks.
