Status: Partially Accepted
Change Description: see diff given below
Rationale: I've attempted to make the definition more self-consistent.

It's possible for a plugin to support JPG types, yes. More common is for
browsers to natively support SVG or PDF yet have that support fall into the
"plugin" definition. Really the only effect is whether <embed> can display the
content or not.
