But you talk about "another system" -- what is that? It seems to me a highly
hypothetical situation that you will rarely ever encounter in reality. 
It is still possible to not forcefully drop the PNG/JPEG fallback files from
document and do this just when the user agrees.

We pretty much could drop fallback PNG files for SVG files today.
