In latest editor's draft of Web Intents[1],
second example posts an intent with type="text/uri-list" and
third example declares it accepts type="text/uri-list;type=image/*" intent.

But, according to matching section[2],
text/uri-list;type=image/* doesn't match against text/uri-list,
so third example can't accept the intent from second example.

IMO, possible fix is
 - changing "text/uri-list" to "text/uri-list;type=image/" in second example,
 - or, changing the matching algorithm to handle parameter part of type
attribute.
