If you decide to assign your own UTI (i.e. declare the definition for export) you shouldn't use a reverse domain name that doesn't belong to you, unless you have permission. Perhaps ask the idpf if they'd mind?

I've certainly found it inconvenient that there's no standard UTI for Mobipocket files on Mac OS X. In the end, I exported one based on my own domain name from my Quick Look plugin
