> I am not sure, If my interpretation of the spec is correct, but I understood it like this.. When both src & type attributes are present, if type attribute specified is not supported by the plugin, then src's content type can be used to check if the plugin can handle it. src content type can determined by its extension, though the ideal mechanism to consider is the Header response from http transaction if the src url is a http.

I read the spec to say that file extension should be preferred to the Content-Type header, but this sounds right otherwise. I think I mistakenly quoted a requirement for authors rather than implementors earlier.
