I was wondering what the mime type for iWork's Pages is? And also what the mime type is for the rest of the software in the iWork suite? I looked around online and I didn't see it anywhere.

Thanks!

Looks like Apple doesn't much care, since installing iWork does not add any mime type information to any of its system mime-type info reps (in /etc/cups and /etc/apache2), "Get Info" on an iWork file shows no mime-type, etc. The only hint I've found is in Page's info.plist (a copy's online here) which mentions:

            <key>public.filename-extension</key>
   <array>
    <string>pages</string>
   </array>
   <key>public.mime-type</key>
   <array>
    <string>application/x-iwork-pages-sffpages</string>
   </array>

and a similar one for filename-extension "template", with "-sfftemplate" as the suffix instead of "-sffpages".
