Hmm, I'm surprised they have a media-type at all... Some inquiring 
presents: In OOo, if a directory has semantics of its own (such as a 
directory containing a sub-document), then it received a suitable media 
type (e.g. that for the sub-document-type). Other directories which are 
just there for administrative or convenience reason (such as Pictures/) 
have no media type, which is written as an empty attribute. I'm not sure 
if it would make sense to introduce a general-purpose directory media-type.

Sincerely,
Daniel
