The OP request was not to support the formats, it was to identify the formats so that loading of unsupported formats could be skipped without an http request. So, while I don't expect significant use on the Web, I would expect some support for tiff and eps in some non-Web implementations, such as Prince or WeasyPrint, perhaps. Maybe even some ePub implementations? EPS is very common in professional print production, even for raster images (especially for CMYK). So is TIFF.
