Heck yes. :)

My provisional patch is still keeping the code, but using it more conservatively:

The exact IE-based heuristics are still checked but will trip only on files matching the exact conditions that would affect old IE versions. Most uploaded JPEG or PNG files with HTML-ish links in EXIF metadata should not trigger it, as the tag strings won't appear in the first 256 bytes of the file.

The less-exact heuristics (held over from before Tim's addition of the reverse-engineered exact checks) are now less overbearing, and should no longer trigger on <a href, <img, <pre, <table, or <title tags. This also obsoletes the $wgAllowTitlesInSVG setting, which will now be always true.

Feel free to help with review and testing -- especially welcome if folks have samples of JPEG, PDF, DjVu, or other files that were blocked before but should work so we can double-check. Thanks all!
