+This could be achieved in a generic way by allowing filter binaries in expressions, which are run on the filename and return 0 or 1.

+I think that to support this, the annex.largefiles preferred content expression would need to be supplimented with checks not available in the normal preferred content language. 
+
+In general, it's important that preferred content expressions be able to be evaluated without having the file content locally available, and it needs to be possible for a repository to evaluate the preferred content of a sibling repository and know if its sibling wants a file. These things would be defeated by any mime-based expressions. So such expressions should only be available in annex.largefiles and not in other preferred content expressions.
+
+Calling out to `file` or some other external program could work. Although speed can be important. If the assistant is seeing a file frequently change, it's not ideal for it to be repeatedly running `file` on it. There does not seem to be a pure haskell MIME type checking library available at present.

+Update: There are now separate parsers for preferred content and
+annex.largefiles expressions, so this could be put in only the
+annex.largefiles parser.
+
+I kind of like the idea of letting an external program be run
+to test if the file is large. Of course, it would be up to the user to
+make the external program fast enough.
+
+The expression could be something like "checkprogram=foo". Since
+expressions have simple word-based tokenization, no parameters
+would be able to be passed to the program (except the file to check).
+
+For getting mime type, the best way seems to be to use 
+<http://hackage.haskell.org/package/magic>. Using `magicOpen [MagicMimeType]`
+I got it to probe mime types for files.
+
+Since libmagic won't be available everywhere, it would have to be a build flag,
+and if a git-annex not built with support for it is fed an expression with
+"magic=", it would have to error out when parsing the expression.
+
+Of course, these options are not mutually exclusive..
