I agree.  But we would need to come up with a list of types that we can 
guarantee will be displayable by default in every relevant browser out 
there; SM has done a pretty good job of staying browser-neutral, so this 
conversation is a little sensitive I think.

Are there any other rather generic types beside image/gif and image/jpeg?

One list of types is here:

Other possibilities?:
