Uh... You can't? As long as it has a PNG header (and no one's saying people will screw up the <svg xmlns=""> part), and follows the general structure of a PNG file, it'll "work" in that the browser will render something. Possibly not exactly what you wanted. And browsers accept plenty of technically-invalid (not following the standard) images because a number of popular authoring tools generate (or have generated in the past) such. -Boris P.S. Again, not expressing any opinions on the point in debate; just dealing with issues of fact.
