Icon names without trailing stars already exist in the freedesktop.org icon naming specification.
With MIME types, there is no complete list of icon names
in the spec. Therefore, they are divided in categories:

Specification compliance of icon names

With MIME types, there is no complete list of icon names in the spec. Therefore, they are divided in categories:

Standard FD.o MIME Types

This is the complete list in the FD.o spec: 

 application-x-executable        OK
 audio-x-generic                 OK
 font-x-generic                  (valid? font-* is not in IANA.)
 image-x-generic                 OK
 package-x-generic               OK (valid? package-* is not in IANA.)
 text-html                       OK
 text-x-generic                  OK
 text-x-generic-template         Needed
 text-x-script                   OK
 video-x-generic                 OK
 x-office-address-book           OK
 x-office-calendar               Needed
 x-office-document               OK
 x-office-presentation           Needed
 x-office-spreadsheet            OK

These are included in Tango: 

 application-certificate
 x-office-document-template
 x-office-drawing
 x-office-drawing-template
 x-office-presentation-template
 x-office-spreadsheet-template

It has not yet been determined which Tango icons we will need to use.

Icons for Standard MIME Types

This is the complete list in the FD.o spec Non-regular files:

 inode-chardevice                Needed
 inode-directory                 OK
 inode-fifo                      Needed
 inode-mount-point               Not needed, because it's not

 inode-socket                    Not needed (right?)
