Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but it seems the way to request thumbnails has
changed, at least for SVGs.

For example, for
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3e/Flag_of_New_Zealand.svg

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3e/Flag_of_New_Zealand.svg/720px-Flag_of_New_Zealand.svg

used to work, but no longer.

Now, adding .png

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3e/Flag_of_New_Zealand.svg/720px-Flag_of_New_Zealand.svg.png

works.

Is this expected?  Can I rely on this going forward?

Thanks,
Eric
