The specification says:

        "The user agent must combine this list with its own 
        list of acceptable media types by taking the 
        intersection, and then use the resulting list as the 
        field value of the accept request header when 
        requesting the resource using HTTP."

This will lead to difficult corner cases, which means a lot of test cases. 
        1. HTTP has precedence as defined in specifications.
        2. How to resolve content/types preference with different q values
        
        "A user agent must imitate similar behavior when using 
        other methods than HTTP."
        
What is *imitate* in this context? 

        "For instance, when accessing files in a local filestore, 
        <p src="logo" srctype="image/png, image/jpeg"> might cause 
        the user agent first to look for a file logo.png, and then 
        for logo.jpg."
        
Do you mean an application which will handle a "file://" for example? Many 
browsers interpret the content of these files depending of their extensions if 
given.
In case of conflicts, what MUST be the behaviour of the user agent?
        
        <p src="logo.svg" srctype="image/png, image/jpeg">
