Yes, please!

I'm fine with Apache's default list.

application/occtect-stream? But I really don't care.

no, I would appreciate like such default behavior.

No idea if Apache's settings are the real standard, in doubt it is 
reasonable.

no opinion here.

Generally I think that a small default set for 
html/css/javascript/xml/zip/img/png&co is really useful.
