What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

The information in the MDN documentation regarding the Blob type for DWG files seems to be incomplete or inaccurate. Specifically, the MIME type for DWG files (image/vnd.dwg) is mentioned in the standard, but when used with the Blob API, the type property for DWG files returns as empty or undefined. This discrepancy suggests that the Blob API may not be handling this MIME type correctly, even though it is supported according to the specification. The documentation does not address this issue, leaving the user without guidance on how to work with DWG files and their MIME types using the Blob API.

What did you expect to see?

I expected to see the correct MIME type (image/vnd.dwg) populated in the type property of a Blob when working with DWG files, as the MIME type is officially supported according to the relevant standards. Additionally, I hoped the MDN documentation would provide clear guidance on handling this MIME type in the Blob API, including whether there are any known issues or limitations with using image/vnd.dwg in the context of Blobs.
