Yes and no. Yes in that the Epub application definitely will look for particular things inside, extract some, and so on. No in that it won't do this things only. But then again, is anything in the +xml list something you (only!) *want* to happen if you are opening an image/svg+xml file? The +foo suffixes are helpful not for when you have an application for the exact type, but for when you don't, and have to fall back to more generic processing. Regards, Martin. -- #-# Martin J.
