    The "magic numbers" section is missing.
    
    Using a syntax close to the file(1) command, OpenDocument files have the following 'magic' :
    
    0    string   PK\003\004
    >30  string   mimetype
    >>38 string    vnd.oasis.opendocument.text
    (or any other mimetype being registered here)
    
    I.e. in plain english: the ZIP magic header "PK" followed by the byte values 3 and 4,
    and at offset 30, the string "mimetype" followed by the actual mimetype of the document.
