Comment (by mgood):

 cboos: the point of this ticket is that rendering the `bugtraq:message`
 property with the Trac Wiki syntax is not sufficient since it doesn't
 honor the other `bugtraq` properties which may refer to an external bug
 tracking system.  So, rendering it for the mime type `text/x-trac-wiki` is
 not going to solve this issue.

 I don't really see any benefit to mapping other SVN properties into mime
 types since it seems like we'd need to come up with some bogus mime type
 for most of the different properties.  It would simply be cleaner to just
 use the property names as the keys for mapping them to an appropriate
 renderer.  The property viewer API could be patterned after the mime
 viewer API, but I don't think it really lends itself to reuse.

 It will also be necessary to deviate a bit from the mime viewer API since
 as seen with `bugtraq` it may not be possible to render each property on
 it's own, since rendering `bugtraq:message` also requires knowing the
 other 5 properties mentioned above.
