gdata Zend PHP Google Docs Supported Filetypes

I heard like 10 months ago that Google was supporting all kind of files in Google Docs.

Proof in this video : http://youtu.be/Sp8fotnTwj8?t=4m20s

But i'm using the zend gdata function :

function uploadFile($fileLocation, $title=null, $mimeType=null,
                           $uri=null)

http://framework.zend.com/apidoc/1.10/_Gdata_Docs.html#Zend_Gdata_Docs::uploadFile()

And this function only accept certain kind of file described in this constant

private static $SUPPORTED_FILETYPES = array(
      'TXT'=>'text/plain',
      'CSV'=>'text/csv',
      'TSV'=>'text/tab-separated-values',
      'TAB'=>'text/tab-separated-values',
      'HTML'=>'text/html',
      'HTM'=>'text/html',
      'DOC'=>'application/msword',
      'ODS'=>'application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.spreadsheet',
      'ODT'=>'application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text',
      'RTF'=>'application/rtf',
      'SXW'=>'application/vnd.sun.xml.writer',
      'XLS'=>'application/vnd.ms-excel',
      'XLSX'=>'application/vnd.ms-excel',
      'PPT'=>'application/vnd.ms-powerpoint',
      'PPS'=>'application/vnd.ms-powerpoint');

http://framework.zend.com/apidoc/1.10/_Gdata_Docs.html#Zend_Gdata_Docs::%24SUPPORTED_FILETYPES

So there is a bit of a contradiction there. My question is : Am i limited to only those kind of file or it is the gdata framework who hasn't be updated yet?

If yes how can i find a way around it?

(By the way, if Zend didn't make this update in 10 months i feel pretty bad for them, it's a major one and pretty easy to implement)

Thank you!

The Documents List API supports any kind of files, it is the PHP library to be outdated. You can easily patch it and add other file types to $SUPPORTED_FILETYPES or let it ignore the check for the supported file types.
