Agreed. There's also mixed cases. E.g. for <img>/background-image/etc. I believe Opera first does a check if the Content-Type is image/svg+xml and then falls back to sniffing. (I haven't tested this extensively, but I believe this is what UAs should do for getting SVG support there.) -- Anne van Kesteren http://annevankesteren.nl/
