I could not find it, neither through google nor through your site. http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/embedded-content-1.html#attr-img-src There is a Note: "Images can thus be static bitmaps (e.g. PNGs, GIFs, JPEGs), single-page vector documents (single-page PDFs, XML files with an SVG root element), animated bitmaps (APNGs, animated GIFs), animated vector graphics (XML files with an SVG root element that use declarative SMIL animation), and so forth. However, this also precludes SVG files with script, multipage PDF files, interactive MNG files, HTML documents, plain text documents, and so forth." I don't know whether this answers your question.
