Comment:
the example links should include a type="" attribute to allow automatic
selection of the resource to retreive without having to query each of their
type to see which one is supported by the browser (this cannot be safely
deduced from the "extension" in URLs specified in href="" attributes. Please
add type="image/png" and so on, as appropriate. Otherwise the browset will have
to perform at least a HTTP "stat" request on all of them or type to use the
HTTP "Accept:" header and expect that the server will return an error if
there's no match.
