I think for <img> you want to only support image/* types (e.g. not
text/plain or text/html, not sure about image/svg+xml either, since

For <embed> you want to show only things that require plugins, and
only if they have 200 (or 301-200) responses.
The only browser to my knowledge that only support 200 (or 301-200)
responses for <img> and <embed> is IE5/Mac. Safari, Opera, Mozilla and
IE all load the resourse for <img> and <embed> regardless of the
response. (In the real world it works fine because error responses are
normally text/html.)
This is now what <img> and <embed> say.

That doesn't sound good. Is there any research on for how much of the
consisting content this is needed?
