What does “Prevents error of having identified format and MIME media-type from different tools while processing technical metadata” mean?

+1 on this question; I am also curious.

It was a fix to ensure that the reported format and MIME media-type are consistent. Prior to this fix we saw cases where for example the format would be identified as Plain Text and the MIME media-type as text/html because the format and MIME media-type were being taken from the output of two different tools. This would happen sometimes for formats listed in the FITS format tree (fits_format_tree.xml).
