fileinfo returning wrong mime type for Excel files

[Christoph Boget <christoph.boget@xxxxxxxxx>]

Consider the following:

        $finfo = finfo_open( FILEINFO_MIME, '/usr/share/file/magic' );
        if( $finfo )
        {
          $mimeType = finfo_file( $finfo, '/path/to/my/excel.xls' );
          finfo_close($finfo);
        }
        echo $mimeType;

When I run the above, it echoes out "application/msword".  Why?  I
understand that both excel and word are part of the office suite but
why isn't it returning "application/excel" as it should?  As far as I
can tell, we're using the most up to date version of fileinfo for PHP
5.2.5.  Is there something else I'm missing?  Or doing wrong?

thnx,
Christoph
