If we start ignoring the Content-Type I expect we would also add sniffing so that opening a video served with the wrong (or missing) Content-Type still works in a top-level browsing context, as it does for images (I think).
It can't possibly work for images. If I send a file as text/html, and you load it from an <img> then you will render it as an image (possibly a broken one). If you load it from a toplevel browsing context you will render it as text/html, even if it's image data (where "you" possibly excludes IE/Windows, which will do some sniffing in that situation).
