Not sure, I haven't really worked out what that section should say yet.

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 there
is no difference between that and application/xhtml+xml); and you want to
only show them for 200 (or 301-200).
[...]
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.)

Perhaps this should be correct behaviour?
