I'm probably just confused, but I don't get the difference between 
'content_type' (used in CMFDefault/File.py) and 'format' (used un 
DefaultDublinCoreimpl) and when one or the other should be used/is 
actually used (they seem to have the same purpose to me). To add to my 
confusion, another product uses 'mime_type' doing what I think is the 
same as 'content_type'/'format', and Plone takes the values for 'format' 
in its metadata form from python mimetype, and in the help field tells 
that format is the mime type for the object.
