The <timeline> tag generates images that are perfectly suited for SVG, but PNGs are created instead. Why? E.g. from the English Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_This_American_Life_episodes
By the look of the code, I think it actually creates both..

Well, I have to admit that I'm not terribly savvy here--why does Firefox > display a PNG, then? It used to creates both, but then only tells the web-browser about the png version. I believe the svg conversion wasn't quite as good quality as the png version (due to issues with the program/less testing/the fact no one ever saw the svg versions, so no one gave them love) I'm not sure if it still creates both by default. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/timeline/9a1ee536d328a98d4cb1d03df23cf44c.svg is 404. This bug should perhaps be duped to bug 27156
