This is correct - I think the quotes in https://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/application/dicom are causing this extension to be omitted from mime-db at the moment.

It was added at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xdg/shared-mime-info/-/commit/150637a3c0ec0b4f321bd49dc41650b8e71c559f - Closes: #8389 refers to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8389 , which is thankfully still operational. So in addition to commit messages, the background which led to each commit is likely also available.
fwiw, .rdfs is RDF Schema , and it is expressed as a RDF, and can be serialised as XML, so this addition is fine.

This is about Linux only software discontinued in 2009 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kino_(software)
https://sourceforge.net/p/kino/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/smilutils/ and the manpage under that dont give any indication that .dino was a recommended extension.
However there are some hits on github for .kino being used for smil files https://github.com/search?q=path%3A*.kino&type=code
So this looks like a low value extension, but still valid.

Added in https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xdg/shared-mime-info/-/commit/298543c7e449165b46a85d71209faf42de508217 - .sql is added with the media type of Futuresplash
https://www.webdesignmuseum.org/software/futuresplash-animator-in-1996 lists "FutureSplash Player SPL (Export)" under image formats, not animation formats, so I suspect that they are two different formats.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWF lists .spl as a "Related file formats and extension"
ruffle-rs/ruffle#18260 and https://github.com/ruffle-rs/ruffle/blob/295bd1062cfa281beeb4371f44b3cfb53c12171b/web/packages/core/src/swf-utils.ts#L24 says .spl is the same as .swf
First few pages of https://github.com/search?q=path%3A*.spl&type=code are not flash.
I am not 100% sure, but this seems to be ok.

Alias from:

That commit does include the media type alias, but does not contain .kfx
It seems .kfx is a very different format from the previous versions of Kindle files https://www.quora.com/What-is-Kindle-KFX

This is one where I feel that adding "html","htm" probably makes this mime-db less useful, as those file extensions are very commonly used, and very unlikely to be XML most of the time.

A bit of a marathon - I've reviewed all the

Adds Freedesktop.org's shared-mime-info repository as an upstream. shared-mime-info is used by common Linux desktop environments for MIME information, typically to identify which application to use to open a file. I've generally found sensible rationales for inclusion and changes in the commit messages of the repository.
There are quite a lot of
x-types in this source, which reflects the upstream need for a file type for each format even if there is no IANA official or consensus type. Given that both Apache and Nginx also have a lot ofx-types I think it's sensible to include them all.
