I don't know if AI's output is standards-compliant in this situation or not. If omitting the type is legal according to the SVG standard, then maybe Inkscape should allow it on input.
Inkscape should probably allow it regardless, since being compatible with AI is nearly as important as being compatible with the spec. We don't have the clout to force AI to fix its mistakes, yet :-)
I have to agree with that, though upon reading the RFC it's clear that the missing mimetype is interpreted as text/plain by default. So I think Inkscape is correct in its ignoring such images because technically, they're not images but texts. I'm not sure how to "fix" this because we probably use some library call to retrieve images from URIs.
