Oh great. Now we'll have websites sending JPEG files with a .png extension... not to mention what the file-type will actually be with such a mix-up... and how each and every browser/version will react to that mess.

.... ^ that and .... JPEG doesn't handle transparency...

They couldn't take the time to go through the HTML files and modify extension!?!?

how about we just force browsers to read png's...

Seems like a pretty silly action. Don't most modern browsers support png? I know the whole gif patent ran out or something so the reason fro png being invented was rendered mute but it is still just a better format.

I had 200 kb of images on multiple pages bloat to 1 MB.
