The update-mime-database is using 2 as MINOR_VERSION but the spec 0.18 is using 1. I don't know if the spec or update-mime-database is wrong in this case.
0.70 implements version 0.19 of the spec: http://standards.freedesktop.org/shared-mime-info-spec/shared-mime-info-spec-0.19.html Vincent is updating the links to it as we speak.
